The Fairest Church in
Iceland

The Church of Víğimıri

Víğimıri,...

The decorative aristocratic benches
of the old turf church,
A heritage of their age,
Lead one to think of the
Letter of James
Concerning the rich man
And the poor man
In the assembly.
There the verdict was:
Distinguishing among men is a sin.

The church at Víğimıri, built in 1834,
is one of six Icelandic turf
churches still standing.
