Ingrid Hanna Margareta Persson (1912–2000) was a Swedish priest. On Palm Sunday, 10 April 1960, she became one of the first three female priests in Sweden when she was ordained by Bishop Ruben Josefson in Härnösand Cathedral.[1] The same day Margit Sahlin and Elisabeth Djurle were ordained in Stockholm.[2][3]
