Sword Tapestries
Description: In Norse mythology, Surtr - The fiery giant, lord of Muspelheim. During Ragnarok, Surtr will come from the south with flames, carrying a very bright sword. In the battle his sword will cut down the world tree Yggdrasil, and this will be the beginning of the death of the present world and the beginning of the birth of a new one.
Description: St Michael the Archangel becomes it in the Old Testament and has been part of the Christian tradition since the early days. In Catholic scriptures and traditions, he acts as the protector of the church and opponent of Satan. In John's New Testament revelation, Michael appears in an eschatological context as the conqueror of Satan, whom he falls down to earth. Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies (You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him alone!). This Bible quote from the Gospels speaks Michael to Satan on the first scroll. Non serviam 'I will not serve' is a phrase that is attributed to satan in church history, which is why it is under the dragon.
