Their carvings and inscriptions offer a window into Viking-Age society and spirituality at a time when the Celtic Manx and Scandinavian settlers in the island came to terms with each other. Among these stones, the iconic 'Thorvald's Cross' (MM 128) in St Andrew's church in the village of Andreas demands particular attention, as it features figural scenes with humans and animals deriving from both pagan Norse mythology and Christian religious imagery."-- Forlaget
