Sabine Farrer will take us on a virtual journey along St. Olav’s Way, a network of ancient pilgrim paths leading to the burial site of St. Olav in Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim. The paths are named for Olav II Haraldsson, King of Norway from 1015 to 1028. He was declared a martyr and saint after his death in the battle of Stiklestad in 1030. For centuries pilgrims have walked the various routes throughout Scandinavia to his shrine in the Cathedral. Our speaker, founder of Viking Walks, LLC, will guide us along Gudbrandsdalen, the main path from Oslo to Nidaros during the Middle Ages.
