St. Olaf, known as the Viking king who converted to Christianity, has his altar in this church in San Carlo al Corso. Hundreds of Scandinavians went there to celebrate his feast day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Above the altar is a picture of the holy king defeating the dragon that represents his pagan life. This mass has been celebrated every year since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
