Trivia Question: What Christian saint cut down Thor’s Oak according to legend?
Answer: St. Boniface
Thor’s Oak was one of the pagan trees to which believers would make sacrifices. Boniface detested this barbarity and cut down the oak invoking the wrath of the god it was dedicated to. When no divine retribution came down, he used the wood to build an altar the stories claim.

Founder of IHP, husband to a great wife (my best friend), and dad to 5 wonderful kids. Big fan of history, quizzes, and just about anything trivia related. I also enjoy reading biographies, non-fiction, and fiction (fantasy novels). My other hobby is board games and in my opinion there is nothing better than a family board game night!
