On July 29, many Nordic countries recognize and celebrate St. Olaf’s Day or St. Olaf’ Wake, marking the day that King Olav II of Norway was killed at the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030 during his attempt to unify and forcibly convert Norway. In the Faroe Islands, it’s their national day. We’ll listen to selections that remember and talk about the Viking heritage of the Scandinavian and Nordic nations.
