To honor St. Sunniva, Benedictine monks built a monastery here early in the 12th century.

Selja Island, Norway

Until the 16th century, this was a major pilgrimmage site for Roman Catholics. Although the country's conversion to Lutheranism ended the Sunniva cult, it has been revived in our time. (See Mikaelsson, http://www.springerlink.com/content/?k=Sunniva)
