Ida Maria Åkerblom (September 14, 1898 – February 25, 1981) was the leader of the Finnish Åkerblom Movement, an evangelical movement sometimes called a " cult". She had also served some time in prison. [1] Her movement deemed her a prophet and began in the 1920s. [2] Maria Åkerblom is characterized by Aarni Voipio as a " sleeping preacher", that is, a person who preaches in a state of trance. [3]
The 2019 Zaida Bergroth film Maria's Paradise is based on Åkerblom's life. [4]
