Christianity in Iceland
Christianity in Iceland has a rich history that dates back to the year 1000 when the country officially adopted the faith. The Lögberg, or Law Rock, in Þingvellir was the site where the decision was made to convert to Christianity, marking a significant moment in Icelandic history. Today, the majority of Icelanders belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland, which is the state church.
While the Lutheran Church is predominant, Iceland is also home to various other Christian denominations, including Catholicism and Baptism. The country is known for its religious tolerance, allowing for a diverse range of beliefs and practices. Despite its small population, Iceland has a vibrant religious community that reflects its unique cultural heritage.
