The Island of Selja- A Story of Sunniva
The Irish-princess-virgin-martyr, St Sunniva, is one of the most enigmatic of Scandinavian saints. The site of her martyrdom, the island of Selja on the west coast of Norway, became an important monastic and episcopal centre during the eleventh century. Towards the end of the twelfth century her relics were translated to Bergen, the new centre of the bishopric, and she became the patron saint of Bergen. This short film provides an overview of her legend and the historic site at Selja, Norway's holy island.

Takk
No need to reply-I found an article on Kinn online. I spelt it correctly.
I have a short question that I was wondering if you could help me with. Dr alexander O'Hare mentioned in the video that there is an island to the south that 1 of the 3 boats arrived at, when it was separated from the other 2. It was called 'Kinn' but I don't know how to spell that. Could you tell me the correct spelling? Many thanks.
You Spelled it correctly
@@rev.davidstrommen6229 Thank you! I actually found that out 2 years ago. I have since had my book published with a story of St Sunniva in it for children age 9+. My book is called Saint Brigid & Other Amazing Irish Women. Thanks for your help. :)
My father’s side of the family is from Selje/Vågsøy and when I lived in Norway I was able to visit the island. It is fascinating.
Thanks very much! Found this very useful.
I have a question. Why whould a Irish princes have a norwegian name?
Hi Cesar, Sunniva is actually an Anglo-Saxon name. You can find my article here about the Sunniva cult: www.academia.edu/199816/Constructing_a_Saint_The_Legend_of_St_Sunniva_in_Twelfth_Century_Norway
