EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic image, Saint Boniface, also known as Wynfryth of Crediton, stands before the sacred oak tree of the ancient German god, ready to bring about its demise. Dated back to the year 754, this pivotal moment in European history marks the beginning of the Christian mission in Germany. Born in Devon, England, Boniface was a Benedictine monk who felt called to spread the word of God beyond the shores of his homeland. Armed with nothing but his faith and a burning desire to convert the pagan Germans, Boniface embarked on a mission that would ultimately lead him to Mainz, Germany. The sacred oak tree, a symbol of the ancient German religion, stood tall and proud, a testament to the power of the gods that the people held dear. Boniface, however, saw it as a symbol of idolatry and a hindrance to the spread of Christianity. With unwavering determination, he prepared to chop down the mighty oak, surrounded by a curious and skeptical crowd. The image captures the moment of truth, as Boniface raises his axe high above his head, ready to strike. The tree, with its gnarled branches and twisted trunk, stands defiantly against the encroaching darkness, while the onlookers watch with a mix of awe, fear, and anticipation. This image is a testament to the power of faith and the determination of one man to change the course of history. Saint Boniface's act of chopping down the sacred oak tree marked the beginning of the Christian mission in Germany and paved the way for the spread of Christianity throughout Europe. Today, Saint Boniface is remembered as a missionary and martyr, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence generations to come.
