Editing Nidaros (section)

When Norway regained self-rule as a separate kingdom in a union with Sweden in 1814, a period of [[Norwegian romantic nationalism|national romanticism]] began in which attention was paid to the remnants of the independent medieval kingdom. It was resolved to restore the ancient cathedral of Nidaros.

[[Trondheim]] briefly changed its name back to Nidaros on January 1, 1930. After widespread opposition to the name, the [[Norwegian Parliament]] (led by [[Ivar Lykke (politician)|Ivar Lykke]]) restored the city's name on March 6, 1931.

The pilgrimage route to Nidaros Cathedral has been revived. Using Norwegian spelling, the route is known as [[Saint Olav's Way]]. The main, {{convert|640|km|adj=on}} route begins in the ruins of [[Oslo]]'s Old City (Gamlebyen) and heads north along the lake [[Mjøsa]], up [[Gudbrandsdalen]], over [[Dovrefjell]] and down the [[Oppdal (village)|Oppdal]] valley to the cathedral. Oslo has an office to advise pilgrims, and the Trondheim cathedral has a pilgrim centre which awards certificates to pilgrims who complete their journey.<ref>[http://www.scandinaviacomplete.com/culture/travel/nidaros_pilgrimage.asp ''Pilgrimage to Nidaros'' (Scandinavica.com)]</ref>

The modern Lutheran diocese of Trondheim is known as [[diocese of Nidaros|Nidaros]]. The Roman Catholic archdiocese, suppressed in 1537, was restored as the [[Mission sui iuris]] of central Norway (on territory split off from the [[Apostolic Vicariate of Norway]]) on April 7, 1931. In 1935 it became the [[apostolic prefect]]ure of central Norway, the [[apostolic vicariate]] of central Norway on February 4, 1953, and became the [[Roman Catholic Territorial Prelature of Trondheim]] on March 28, 1979.
