Olsok

Olsok
Olavs II. Tod

Olsok (aus dem Altnordischen: ólafsvaka ≈ Olafswache) ist ein Name für den Gedenk- und Feiertag 29. Juli 1030, den Todestag des norwegischen Königs Olav des Heiligen in der Schlacht von Stiklestad.

Olav gilt in Norwegen als der Förderer des Christentums, er behielt seine Bedeutung wie seine Vigilien auch nach der Reformation. Sein Tag wird auf den Färöern als offizieller Feiertag Ólavsøka und in Dänemark Olai genannt; in Schweden, nur in wenigen Gegenden wie Härjedalen begangen, heißt er Olofs- oder Olsmässa.
