St Olav - St Olaf - St Olave

 

Olav Haraldson was a famous Viking, a famous king and after his death he became a famous saint.
  • From Novgorod in Russia to Minnesota in the USA, from North Cape to the Mediterranean Sea, we also today find churches, schools and colleges dedicated to his name. We have even come across a Gaelic football team with his name, but there is more - much more!
  • Share with us and the world, the info about your local St Olav establishment.

Send your St Olav information to: wigohs@viking.no and we will include your St Olav info in the list below.
