A long time ago a monk faced a formidable task: how to re-imagine the Gospel story so that it could appeal to the Saxons, a group of warlike Northern Germans, many of whom had migrated to England four centuries earlier along with the Angles to become the pagan English.

The resentment they felt against their Christian conquerors continued with sporadic guerilla warfare every winter as soon as Charlemagne and his army returned to Aix-la-Chapelle. With the first snows of the approaching winter solstice, the holly and the ivy mysteriously reappeared in Saxon houses as they returned defiantly and gladly to the worship of the old gods and the practices of the old ways.
The time was what we call the Dark Ages, the time of the Vikings. What had happened became known to many over this wide world. Nag Hammadi Library.
