Ansgar (Saint Ansgar) – Vikings Series | Official Lost Archives Scroll Edition

Printed on parchment-style paper, this 8.5x11 scroll brings the remarkable story of Ansgar — Missionary to the North and Apostle of the North — to life in stunning detail. He carried the Christian faith into the Viking world when the North still stood at the edge of the mission field.

• Recovered Record — Mission records, church tradition, and the chronicles of Hamburg-Bremen preserve Ansgar's story. In 829–830 he reached Birka in Sweden and helped establish one of the earliest Christian footholds in Scandinavia
• Historical Account — Born in 801 in the Frankish world, Ansgar first went north in 826 and later traveled to Birka. Sea raiders attacked his ship and stole his books and gifts, yet he pressed on, preaching in Denmark and Sweden and founding mission churches
• When the Story is Told — Ansgar reminds us that the Christian story in the North did not begin with easy victories. It began with courage, hardship, and a missionary willing to cross cold seas to speak of Christ
• Did You Know? — On his way to Birka, Ansgar's ship was attacked by raiders. His books and gifts were taken, but he survived and continued the mission anyway — one reason he is remembered as one of the bravest early missionaries to the Viking world
• Words of Wisdom — "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." — Mark 16:15
