Hallgrímur Pétursson
Hallgrímur Pétursson (1614 – October 27, 1674) was one of Iceland's most famous poets and a minister at Hvalneskirkja and Saurbæ in Hvalfjörður. The Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík and the Hallgrímskirkja in Saurbæ are named after him. He was one of the most influential pastors during the Age of Orthodoxy (1580–1713). Because of his contributions to Lutheran hymnody, he is sometimes called the Icelandic Paul Gerhardt. Hallgrímur Pétursson (1614 – 27. október 1674) var prestur og mesta sálmaskáld Íslendinga. Ævi hans var að mörgu leyti óvenjuleg en þekktastur er hann í dag fyrir Passíusálmana sína sem voru fyrst gefnir út á prenti árið 1666. Hann var af góðum ættum en bjó lengst af við fátækt. Hann naut mikils stuðnings Brynjólfs Sveinssonar og fékk prestsvígslu frá honum þrátt fyrir að Hallgrímur lyki aldrei formlega prófi. Hallgrímskirkja í Reykjavík er nefnd eftir honum.
