Today it is 42 years since my Confirmation, the Sunday after Easter. Later that year was my 14 years old Birthday. I enjoyed the whole day; in the morning went to the hair dresser for my hair style, back home to get dressed, the ceremony was at 2 in Háteigskirkju (not in my parish, the church hadn't been build yet), the to a photographer for photos
and finally a party for friends and family at 5 at my home. I chose to be confirmed because I believe in God, have my faith since in childhood, don't
go often to church but would like to. One thing that bothered me and still does is when people who are not in The Icelandic Nation Church (Íslenska þjóðkirkjan) but in another chuch (some kind of a cult) ask me this question: Are you saved? I was asked this once more than 20 years ago; at first I was surprised by the question, then asked in return ,,What do you mean if I am saved", the person explained what she meant and I replied ,,I am in the Icelandic National Church and am happy there. My point is; religion is very personal for each one, one is not better/worse than another, I myself do not try to ,,save people" and expect the same form others. Sorry for the long post, have a nice day everybody. 🌻🌻🌻🚶‍♀️💚💚💚
