Kinnaspelet

First a bit of history:

The main theme in the play is the introduction of the Protestant Reformation by the Danish king in 1537. The King’s bailiff informs the congregation of Kinn that they have to accept the "New Faith", that all church properties are taken possession of and that Norway has lost her independence and become a part of Denmark.

Through "a pageant in the pageant", a performance which the parishers themselves were going to present at the very moment of the bailiff’s arrival, we witness how, Sunniva, a Christian Irish Princess, flee from heathen Vikings.
The legend says that she was forced to marry a Viking king. She escaped by secretly leaving Ireland with her friends in three ships. When they were out at sea, they threw away all sails and oars and prayed to God to lead them to a safe place. All ships stranded on the Norwegian coast. Sunniva’s sister or chambermaid came to Kinn where she built the church in gratitude for being saved.

This play is dramatised every year on Kinn. It's probably known all over Norway, and every year we have visiters from all of europe that come to Norway to see "Kinnaspelet".
