Have you ever needed a little divine intervention and couldn't get to your place of worship? No time to get in the confession booth? Well, if you happen to be around the University of Manchester you can duck into the Pray-O-Mat and get that spiritual boost.

 German artist Oliver Sturm turned an old photo booth into a versatile mini-house of worship. For only 50 euro cent coins you can choose from 300 pre-recorder prayers in 65 languages. 

Known as the Gebetomat in Germany, the Pray-O-Mat has something for everyone. Aboriginal Prayers, Rosary prayers, & all kinds of chants & even prayers for rain are all available. The creator of the Pray-O-Mat, Oliver Sturm, collected most of the prayers himself. 

The Pray-O-Mat was installed at the University of Manchester as part of a study into multi faith spaces.
