That was a fascinating piece Lady Sidhe. I would like to add to that if i may the legend of Odin, who is often pictured in a pose not disimilar to the crucifixion scene. According to the Norse mythos Odin from the Tree of Life for 9 days and nights. When the 8th and 9th century Nordic peoples began to adopt Christianity the two images of Christ on the Cross and Odin on the tree were often merged in art.
