• attestation: A heathen warrior fought so bravely that no weapons could wound him due to witchcraft, until priest Andres consecrated fire on an arrowpoint which killed the warlock.

  "priest Andres took consecrated fire; blew upon it; cut tinder in pieces, and laid it on the fire; and then laid the tinder on the arrow-point, and gave it to Asmund. He shot this arrow at the warlock; and the shaft hit so well that it did its business, and the man of witchcraft fell dead."

• attestation: When the holy cross was brought aboard the king's ship, supernatural heat terrified the heathens; the interpreter explained it was God's anger at heathens touching the cross.

• attestation: Priest Andres carried the cross safely to Solbjorg through rain and dreadful weather after being put into a boat and shoved to the pier.

  "Andres went with the cross by night to Solbjorg, in rain and dreadful weather; but brought it in good preservation."
