The Fairest Church in
Iceland
The Cathedral of Hólar
The bells of the cathedral at Hólar,
including the mosaic bells of Erro
(b. 1932), one of the best-known
Icelandic painters in the 20th century.
The memory of the last Catholic
bishop at Hólar, Jón Arason
(1484-1550), hovers in the air.
Those who beheaded him ought
to have remembered David's
generosity towards Saul in
the cave, letting it suffice to
cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.
