Knowing full well they may die in the attempt, a small band of
monks sets out to convert the savage Danes who have laid waste to
the surrounding countryside year after year. Their faith is sorely
tested as they face opposition from the angry Priest of Odin as
well as doubts, sickness and starvation. The Danes laugh at the
idea of leaving their warlike gods for a "weak" God of love, but
Osric, the leader of the monks, is unwavering in his attempts to
share the "White Christ" with those who reject Him. Then the monks
discover a young Christian woman named Elswitha who has escaped
being sacrificed to the Danish gods. While they are willing to risk
the wrath of the Danes to shelter and care for her, they still
wonder what they are supposed to do with a woman. As the monks
struggle with discouragement, however, Elswitha becomes the key to
reaching the village by showing the love of Christ to those who
wanted to kill her. Through her, the Danes at last begin to
understand the true meaning of Christianity.
