Sjømannskirken Dag
The Sjømannskirken, or the Norwegian Church Abroad, is a institution that serves Norwegian sailors and expatriates in over 30 countries. The day celebrates the work of the Sjømannskirken, which provides a home away from home for Norwegians around the world. The church offers worship services, Norwegian food, newspapers, and a place to speak Norwegian. The Sjømannskirken is a reminder that Norway is a maritime nation, and that the sea has always been the country's lifeline to the world.
