Probably not so well known:
St. Boniface is the patron saint of Germany and was instrumental in spreading Christianity to the Frankish empire. He lived during the 8th century and died in 754. He is known as one of the most prominent figures in expanding and reforming Christianity in 8th century Europe. Loyal to the Pope, he worked hard to remove the pagan customs and heretical ideas which had crept into the Christian Church. In a confrontation with paganism he cut down a great oak held as sacred to a pagan god to show the powerlessness of the pagan way.
