Trondheim19530815. The Protestant and Catholic Church in Norway celebrated the 800th anniversary for the creation of the Archbishop's chair. The creation of the Archbishop's chair in the year 1152 or 1153 still argues the historians. The anniversary was double celebrated in two marked boundary departments, a Catholic and a Protestant. The highlight of the Catholic anniversary stakes was the pilgrimage to Stiklestad, the place where Olav the Holy fell. In the Nidaros Cathedral was full. The entire royal family was united except for newlywed Princess Ragnhild Mrs. Lorentzen. Here we see King Haakon going down the stairs from the Riddersalen after the party meeting in the Archdiocese.
