		Christianization in Scandinavia was a slow process, done by word, sword, and by action, and in rural areas it was often completed by the time of the Reformation only.
		In comparison to the Viking raids of monasteries, Christian grave robbing and profanation of sacred places were not uncommon, always accompanied by the systematic demonization of pagan deities in order to demonstrate their weakness.
		It is rather difficult to speculate what traditional Scandinavian mythology resembled on its own, because one of the earliest written records belong to the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson, the author of the Edda, around the year 1220.

	Cross
		The most frequent use of a cross is among Christians, to whom it recalls the crucifixion of Jesus and humanity's redemption thereby.
		The Christian form of blessing by tracing a cross over oneself or another person or thing originated before A.D. The oldest Christian remains contain drawings of crosses and cruciform artifacts, and the fact that the cross was the Christian emblem before the toleration of Christianity is shown by the vision of Constantine I.
		Devotion to the cross as a symbol of the Passion is an outstanding development (from the 11th cent.) in the history of Christian piety; it has ever since been an essential part of the public and private religious life of Roman Catholics.
