Vi ser s\u00e6rlig frem mot kristningsjubileet og h\u00e5per jubileet kan bli en anledning til bredt \u00f8kumenisk samarbeid, sier biskop Fredrik Hansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Hellig Olav er \u00e5rsaken til at Norge feirer kristningsjubileet i 2030 og 2031<\/strong>. Han st\u00e5r i sentrum for feiringen. 29. juli 2030 er det tusen \u00e5r siden hans martyrd\u00f8d p\u00e5 Stiklestad; 3. august 2031 er det tusen \u00e5r siden hans kropp ble funnet intakt og han ble anerkjent som helgen, ikke kun for Norge, men for Verdenskirken, fremhever biskop Erik Varden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n De katolske biskopene i Norge har derfor bedt pave Leo XIV om \u00e5 utrope et s\u00e6rskilt jubel\u00e5r for Den katolske kirke i Norge, fra olsok 29. juli 2030 til vesleolsok 3. august 2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Et jubel\u00e5r <\/em>er i Den katolske kirke en s\u00e6rlig n\u00e5detid, med vekt p\u00e5 pilegrimsferd, b\u00f8nn, omvendelse og forsoning. \u2013 Ikke minst er jubel\u00e5ret, som navnet tilsier, en oppfordring til \u00e5 glede oss<\/em> over alt den kristne Olavsarven har bidratt med for \u00e5 berike v\u00e5rt lands kultur og selvforst\u00e5else, v\u00e5rt rettssystem og v\u00e5r europeiske forankring, sier biskop Erik Varden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE ST OLAV JUBILEE: \u2018Such a Jubilee Year will offer the faithful in Norway and pilgrims from abroad a special opportunity to follow in the footsteps of St Olav and renew their faith\u2019, says Bishop Fredrik Hansen. \u2018It is on account of St Olav that we prepare to keep an important millennium in 2030 and 2031\u2019, stresses Bishop Erik Varden. \u2018St Olav is at the heart of the celebration.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bishop Fredrik Hansen and Bishop Erik Varden are delighted that the bishops of the Lutheran church of Norway will encounter Pope Leo XIV in an audience today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018We have excellent ecumenical relations with the church of Norway and are pleased that the bishops have an opportunity to meet Pope Leo XIV. We look forward to the millennium of Norway\u2019s conversion and hope this jubilee will give occasion for broad ecumenical collaboration\u2019, says Bishop Fredrik Hansen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018It is on account of St Olav that we prepare to keep an important millennium in 2030 and 2031\u2019, stresses Bishop Erik Varden. \u2018St Olav is at the heart of the celebration. 29 July 2030 will mark the millennium of his martyr\u2019s death at Stiklestad; 3 August 2031 will mark the millennium of his exhumation, when his body was found incorrupt. On that day he was proclaimed a saint not just for Norway, but for all of Christendom.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why the Norwegian bishops have petitioned Pope Leo to proclaim a special Year of Jubilee for the Catholic Church in Norway lasting from the feast of St Olav, 29 July, in 2030 until the feast of the translation of St Olav\u2019s relics, 3 August, in 2031. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A Year of Jubilee is for Catholics a year of special grace that highlights the importance of pilgrimage, prayer, conversion, and reconciliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Such a Year of Jubilee will give both the Norwegian faithful and pilgrims come from abroad a unique chance to follow in the footsteps of St Olav and to renew their faith in gratitude for the Christian patrimony with which Norway has been blessed, their eyes set on the Church\u2019s present and future task in this country\u2019, says Bishop Hansen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bishop Varden adds: \u2018As the name suggests, the Year of Jubilee will be not least an occasion to rejoice<\/em> in what St Olav\u2019s Christian legacy has done to enrich our country\u2019s culture and self-understanding, our code of justice and our European connectedness.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Materialet ble lastet ned fra nettsidene:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kristiansund.katolsk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1024x683.png\")
