December Webinar | How Religion in Norway Affected Our Ancestors | Eleanor Brinsko
Christianity played an important role in the everyday life of our Norwegian ancestors and some of the oldest religious buildings in all of Europe can be found in Norway.
Christianity, along with Judaism, Mormonism, and the Asa religion, are going to be explored in this presentation as we look into how religion shaped the daily decisions of Norwegians and played a role in the mass exodus to North America
