The tree had prophetic significance, IIRC. Zalis Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 09:38:13 PM
That's just shooting from the hip, though. I could be muddling hymn lyrics with actual scripture, so don't quote me.

I think a more important question of significance would be this:

What if Christianity had never been received by the Roman Empire?

That's led to a lot of the problems we see with it today, IMO. We're better off as a persecuted faith. A lot of pagan practices and rituals were wrapped up into it once it became "official."
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
