Christianity in Iceland

Christianity in Iceland is predominantly Lutheran, with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland being the country's official church. Historically introduced by Norse settlers in the 9th century, Christianity became firmly established by the 11th century. Today, most Icelanders are members of this church, which influences national culture and holidays, though active practice varies. Religious life includes church services, festivals, and rites of passage like baptisms and confirmations. While church membership remains high, secularism and individual spirituality also play significant roles in modern Icelandic society.
