Selbu Church
Selbu Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Selbu Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Mebonden. It is one of the churches for the Selbu parish which is part of the Stjørdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The church seats about 550 people. The white, stone church was built in a cruciform style around the year 1150 under designs by an unknown architect. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1409, but the church was not new that year. The old stone church was likely built around the year 1150. It was originally built as a single-nave long church with narrower choir with a lower roof line in the southeast. It is believed that the choir was built first, around the mid-12th century while the nave was completed afterwards. Dendrochronological analyses of the roof structure in the nave show that the timber for this was cut in 1176–1177. The stone for the church str ...

Selburose
In Norwegian knitting, a ''selburose'' () is a knitted rose pattern in the shape of a regular octagram. It is traditionally used for winter clothing such as the Selbu mitten (''selbuvott'') and sweaters ('' lusekofte, lopapeysa'' and '' mariusgenser''). Of ancient origin, the pattern is associated with Selbu Municipality in Norway, and has become an international symbol of Norway (or Scandinavia generally), Christmas and winter. History The design now known as the ''selburose'' has a long history. It appears in textiles across European history, and in knitting pattern books from Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany in the 16th to 18th century. It appears to combine designs of Islamic and Christian tradition based on Coptic and Byzantine The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire centred on Constantinople during late antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Selbu Mittens
Selbuvott () is a knitted woolen mitten, based on a pattern from Selbu Municipality in Norway. Like all mittens, the purpose of selbuvott is to keep hands warm during winter, with one large space for fingers and a separate smaller section for the thumb. The pattern is a Selburose, which is a traditional rose from the Selbu area, shaped like an octagram. Marit Guldsetbrua Emstad first knitted the pattern into a pair of mittens in 1857, and sold mittens through Husfliden in Trondheim in 1897. Selbuvott is possibly the most-worn knitted pattern in Norway. Marriage tradition Although traditionally only worked with two colors, patterns for these mittens could often be very intricate. Because of this, Selbuvott was used as a form of a dowry for young girls since selbuvott required an intense amount of time, care, and skilled practice in order to perfect the technique and get the desired look. A girl would start knitting these mittens from a very young age so that she could present t ...
