Re: Armorial Bearings of the RC Diocese of Reykjavik
This must be one of the smallest RC dioceses in the whole world, with less than 12,000 faithful, two-thirds of whom are temporary residents. The fleur-de-lis probably commemorates the fact that Roman Catholicism was re-introduced to Iceland by French priests in the 1850s.
