THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT ANSGAR The Bishop and Apostle of Scandinavia Feast Day: February 3

"If I were worthy of such a favour from my God, I would ask that He grant me this one miracle – that by His grace, He would make of me a good man."

On September 8, 801, Ansgar was born in Corbie, France, and was the son of a noble Frankish family. According to the Vita Ansgarii (Life of Ansgar), when the little boy learned in a vision that his mother was in the company of Mary, mother of Jesus, his careless attitude toward spiritual matters changed to seriousness. He was educated at the Bendictine monastery in Picardy, and later became abbot of New Corbie in Westphalia, Germany, where he became a teacher and preacher.

With the approval of Pope Gregory IV, he appointed as bishop of Hamburg in 831, he was given the mission of evangelizing Denmark, Norway and Sweden. His exceptional talent for preaching was accompanied by good luck.

The superstitious King of Sweden decided to cast lots as to whether the Christian missionaries should be admitted into his kingdom. Ansgar recommended the issue to the care of God, and the lot was favorable. He wore a rough hair shirt, lived on bread and water, and showed great charity to the poor.

When Ansgar died on February 3, 865 at the age of 63 in Bremen, the whole Northern Europe bewailed him. Being the first missionary in Sweden and the organizer of hierarchy in the Nordic countries, he was declared 'Apostle of the North'.

History records what people do, rather than what they are. Yet the courage and perseverance of men and women like Ansgar can only come from a solid base of union with the original courageous and persevering Missionary. Ansgar's life is another reminder that God writes straight with crooked lines. Christ takes care of the effects of the apostolate in his own way; he is first concerned about the purity of the apostles themselves.

"The word stealing comes with an inconvenient moral baggage, so I've gotten into a habit of saying that I take things, I do not steal them."

hi there! I'm new to the Brotherband fandom(i literally started reading the books on friday) but would you tell me who ansgar leatherfist is?

Hello and welcome to the fandom! We're all delighted to have you. I hope you enjoy your stay (:

Ansgar Leatherfist is an OC of mine, a Skandian metalworker who unofficially adopts Jesper.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but how did Ansgar and Jesper meet?

Not sure if it's been answered; in any case, I don't remember having anything for this...

...so let's make it up now.

Ansgar helped fix Stefan's bracelet that Jesper had broken by mistake.

(Stef didn't even realize Jes had nicked it, and Jes just wanted to play with it for a while before giving it back, and then it broke.)

Ansgar refused to take payment, saying he'd teach Jesper how to fix things on his own if Jesper would come by a few times a week and be an apprentice of sorts.

Curious about all the shiny things Ansgar had lying around and thinking it'd be a fun and useful skill to learn, Jesper agreed, thinking the whole setup would last a week or two before Ansgar got tired of him.

When that didn't happen, the poor boy got really confused and starting thinking he was on a time bomb. Why did this man take such an interest in him, and mentor him, and praise him, and even feed him, and- and trust that Jesper, a confirmed thief, wouldn't steal any of the tools or stones or jewelry?

The Sharing Table™️ was a big step in helping Jes overcome his trust issues.

Please explain to me, using very small words, why I thought multiples was a good idea here.

Ansgar The Rime. Havroun of Dragon. He/They. His voice is still kinda feminine but hearing Dragon's more feminine-ish voice makes him feel closer to the Spirit. He can and will beat the Sons' asses if they say he's a woman and beneath them.
