Úr verkinu FlæðiOn April's fools day two exhibitions will be opened at Skriðuklaustur. In gallery Klaustur the artist Ólöf Björk Bragadóttir (Lóa) will show paintings and an artwork inspired by the lake Lagarfljót with the name Flow. The other exhibition is an exhibition about the famous worm monster of Lagarfljót. Formerly put up in 2007 but now renewed based on the newest sightings and world reputation of the monster on Youtube. Over Easter opening hours at Skriðuklaustur and Klausturkaffi restaurant are these from 12:00 to 17:00: Sunday 1st April, Friday 6th April, Saturday 7th April and Monday 9th April.  Annual walk from Valþjófsstaður Church to Skriðuklaustur to remember the passion of Christ will start at 11:00 on Friday.  The Visitor centre of the Vatnajökull National Park will be open Saturday 7th April and Monday 9th April.

Quotes

However - was not all
life a sacrifice - if lived
in the right manner?
Isn't that what the riddle
is about...

Advent (The Good Sheperd) 1937
