Gođafoss “waterfall of the gods”

Thorgeir Ljosvetningagodi was the lawspeaker in the year 999/1000 when Iceland’s legislative assembly was debating on which religion to practice. The Norse Paganism or Christianity. Thorgeir himself was a Pagan priest and chieftain but after a day and night of meditation he decided in favour of Christianity. It is said that when he returned home he took his idols of his gods and threw them over this waterfall for which is now known as Gođafoss “the waterfall of the gods”.
