Message from Nicole Zohdi

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland, known for its unique design and towering presence. Standing at 74.5 meters tall, it's the largest church in Iceland and a prominent symbol of the country's national identity. Designed by State Architect Guðjón Samúelsson, the church's architecture is inspired by Iceland's natural landscape, with a curved spire resembling volcanic formations. Inside, visitors can light candles, admire two large pipe organs, and even take a lift to the top for panoramic views of Reykjavík. The church also features a statue of Leif Erikson gifted by the United States.
