The burial mounds of Jelling and one of the runic stones are examples of the pagan tradition. The 2nd runic stone and the Church illustrate the transition of the Danes towards Christianity. The church and the burial mounds have still not revealed all their secrets. One thing we know for sure is that the large runic stone near the church is the birth certificate of Denmark. Officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, this site is to be safeguarded for the future as a testimony to its enduring past.

JELLING MOUNDS, RUNIC STONES AND CHURCH, DENMARK
Jelling stones, Jelling, Southern Denmark, Denmark, Europe
The Jelling stones are massive carved runestones from the 10th century, found at the town of Jelling in Denmark. The older of the two Jelling stones was raised by King Gorm the Old in memory of his wife Thyra. The larger of the two stones was raised by King Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth in memory of his parents, celebrating his conquest of Denmark and Norway, and his conversion of the Danes to Christianity. The runic inscriptions on these stones are considered the most well known in Denmark. The Jelling stones stand in the churchyard of Jelling church between two large mounds. The stones represent the transitional period between the indigenous Norse paganism and the process of Christianization in Denmark; the larger stone is often cited as Denmark's baptismal certificate (dåbsattest), containing a depiction of Christ. They are strongly identified with the creation of Denmark as a nation state and both stones feature one of the earliest records of the name Danmark (in the form of accusative tanmaurk on the large stone, and genitive tanmarkar on the small stone). Interior of Jelling Church, showing frescos dating from 1125. After having been exposed to all kinds of weather for a thousand years cracks are beginning to show. On the 15th of November 2008 experts from UNESCO examined the stones to determine their condition. Experts requested that the stones be moved to an indoor exhibition hall, or in some other way protected in situ, to prevent further damage from the weather. Heritage Agency of Denmark decided to keep the stones in their current location and selected a protective casing design from 157 projects submitted through a competition. The winner of the competition was Nobel Architects. The glass casing creates a climate system that keeps the stones at a fixed temperature and humidity and protects them from weathering. The design features rectangular glass casings strengthened by two solid bronze sides mounted on a supporting steel skeleton. The glass is coated with an anti-reflective material that gives the exhibit a greenish hue. Additionally, the bronze patina gives off a rusty, greenish colour, highlighting the runestones' gray and reddish tones and emphasising their monumental character and significance. The stone has a figure of Jesus Christ on one side and on another side a serpent wrapped around a lion. Christ is depicted as standing in the shape of a cross and entangled in what appear to be branches. One scholar has suggested that this imagery was used to suggest that Christ had replaced the Norse pagan god Odin, who in one myth hung for nine nights in the tree Yggdrasill. In 1955, a plaster cast of this stone was made for a festival in London. It is now located in the grounds of the Danish Church in London, 4 St. Katherines Precinct, Regents Park, London. The copy is painted in bright colors, like the original. Most of the original paint has flaked away from the original stone, but enough small specks of paint remained to tell us what the colors looked like when they were freshly painted. A copy is also located in the National Museum of Denmark, and another copy, decorated by R. Broby-Johansen in the 1930s, just outside the Jelling museum, which stands within sight of the Jelling mounds. Another copy of this stone was placed in 1936 on the Domplein ('Dom Square') in Utrecht, next to the Cathedral of Utrecht, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Utrecht University.
Jelling Church, Jelling, Southern Denmark, Denmark, Europe
The church in Jelling, which is placed between the two large mounds, has been build of chalkstone. It has been build about the year 1100. Before this church there has on the same location been three wooden churches, of which the first was build in the period of Harald Bluetooth. The size of the first wooden church was 14 x 30 meters, and therefore somewhat larger than the present church, and it is considerably larger than other wooden churches, from which are found remains. The present stone church had a tower added in the years of 1400. A part of the church burned in 1679, but was rebuild, and since a weapon house has been added, which possibly has given cause for moving of the small runic stone.

Jelling Monuments - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Jelling Monuments UNESCO World Heritage site covers a group of three monuments from a significant period in Danish history. There's a pair of burial mounds for King Gorm the Old and his wife, the last pagan king and queen of Denmark. There's also a pair of rune stones, one of which contains the first written mention of the word Denmark within Denmark, and the other which has King Harald Bluetooth (Gorm's son), boasting about unifying Norway and Denmark, as well as bringing Christianity to his kingdom. The third monument is the oldest church in Denmark, where King Gorm the Old is still buried. What a fascinating spot!

The Jelling Monuments Review - Viking Rune Stones UNESCO World Heritage
The Jelling Monuments Review- Viking Town UNESCO World Heritage
Erected in 965 AD by the Viking King Harald Bluetooth after embracing Christianity. This historical event is recorded on rune stones to hail his achievements in uniting Denmark and Norway by bringing Christianity to the Danes.
Often regarded as Denmark's birth certificate, till this date the crucifix on the rune stone adorns all Danish passports.
Kind Harald also created two mighty royal barrows and a church on this site. Hundreds of white demarcations outline the world's largest ship setting, Viking longhouses and impressive stockade. In-between the royal barrows you will find a historic church and two 1000 year old rune stones displayed in illuminated bronze cabinets.
The Jelling monuments are among Europe's finest Viking Age monuments and enjoy UNESCO World Heritage patronage.
There is also a new Royal Jelling experience center which is free and let you experience Jelling the way it looked 1000 years ago.

Jelling Runic Stones - World Heritage
About a thousand years ago, Jelling in Denmark used to be the residence of Viking kings. It was been established that King Gorm and later on his son and successor Harald Bluetooth ruled the country from Jelling. King Gorm and his son Harald, nicknamed Bluetooth, are the only Viking kings who left their marks in Jelling. The most significant evidence that the Viking kings used to reside here is found on two Runic stones. The inscriptions say that king Gorm and his wife Thyra were buried here.

Examining a 1937 Utrecht Replica of Jelling Runestone: Christ(Odin) and World Serpent together!
Hi everyone! This is the 1937 replica of the Jelling Runestone! Wow, really interesting! Inscription reads: King Haraldr ordered this monument made in memory of Gormr, his father, and in memory of Thyrvé, his mother; that Haraldr who won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian. original is 970AD! The placement of the World Serpent and Christ in one smacks of Early Christian Millenarialism. They were happy to become Christian because it all fit into existing mythology!
