General information [link]

View of the Foldfjord

The municipality was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Two other municipalities was later separated from it: Valsøyfjord (in 1894) and Stemshaug (in 1914). Stemshaug, however, was merged back with Aure on 1 January 1965. The municipality of Tustna was merged with Aure on 1 January 2006.

Name [link]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Aure farm (Old Norse: Aurar), since the first church was built there. The name is the plural form of aurr which means "gravel".[2]

Coat-of-arms [link]

The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted in 2006 when the municipalities of Tustna and Aure were merged, and they are based on the old arms of Tustna. The arms show a white klippfisk (cod) on a blue background. The production of cod in Norway started in Tustna around 1690.[3]

Churches [link]

The Church of Norway has three parishes within the municipality of Aure. It is part of the Diocese of Møre and the Rural Deanery (Prosti) of Ytre Nordmøre prosti.

Norway

Norway (i/ˈnɔːrweɪ/ NAWR-way; Norwegian:  Norge (Bokmål) or  Noreg (Nynorsk)), officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land. Until 1814, the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands (since 1035), Greenland (1261), and Iceland (1262). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468.

Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747 sq mi) and a population of 5,109,059 people (2014). The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km or 1,006 mi long). Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak Strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.

Norway Pavilion at Epcot

The Norway Pavilion is a Norway-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Its location is between the Mexican and Chinese Pavilions.

Layout

The 58,000-square-foot (5,400 m2) Norway Pavilion is designed to look like a Norwegian village. The village includes a detailed Stave church, and the exterior of its main table-service restaurant, Restaurant Akershus, resembles its namesake in Oslo. The exhibit showcases 4 styles of Norwegian architecture: Setesdal-style, Bergen-style, Oslo-style and Ålesund-style.

Much of the pavilion is taken up by interconnected shops. These shops are decorated with large wooden trolls and sell assorted Norwegian goods, including clothing, candy, and statuettes of Norse gods and trolls. The courtyard of the pavilion contains the entrance to Maelstrom, a boat ride into Norway's past and present. Kringla Bakeri og Kafé is a bakery, featuring assorted Norwegian pastries, such as cream horns and open-faced salmon sandwiches. The courtyard contains the entrance to Restaurant Akershus, featuring a hot and cold buffet and "Princess Storybook Dining."

Gaping Grave Awaits

by: Aura Noir

Sepulchral grasp holds
A cold grip on your soul
Claustrophobic valut
Ravishing end now unfolds
The haunting void roars
Surrounds your severed heart's contours
he shine of your exustence
Floating aimlessly through Death's maze
Gaping graves awaits
Wooden coat embrace
The scent of (the) Reaper's Breath
Coils around your neck
The sounds of soil
That hits your coffin door
The lid's closed forever
The vacuum of Death's womb
The hinges are corroding
Oblivion's pendulum swaying
Gaping graves awaits
Wooden coat embrace
Gaping graves awaits
