Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Freedom To Religious Practices
While some believe in the existence of elves and fairies, the majority of the population still belongs to the Church of Iceland. This Christian church, formally known as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland, is the officially established religion in the country and has played a significant role in shaping its society.
Iceland has historically welcomed religious diversity, and since 1874, freedom of religion has been guaranteed by the constitution. The Grafarkirkja Church, which was built in the 17th century, serves as a reminder of the country’s long-standing spiritual legacy. As the oldest church of the country, it stands as a symbol of the nation’s open-mindedness and acceptance of different faiths.
