Sigurd's Cross, Kirk Andreas, Isle of Man.

Although the Viking settlers on the island were supposed to have converted to Christianity their graveyard crosses depict Norse mythology This cross depicts the story of Sigurd who has killed the dragon, Fafnir, and, as instructed by the god Odin, is roasting the dragon's heart over a fire. He touches the heart to test whether it is cooked and then sucks his burnt finger. By consuming the dragon's blood he is able to understand the language of the birds and one can be seen over his shoulder warning him that his enemies are plotting to kill him. This 10th century cross shows that in spite of their conversion to Christianity the settlers maintained their old beliefs.
