During the late Viking Age, it was not uncommon to wear a cross with the image of Christ around the neck, even in Northern Europe. The intention here was probably often to distinguish themselves from the pagan Old Believers, who still adhered to the old belief in the Norse gods.
Viking crosses were often decorated with depictions of Jesus on the cross, a so-called crucifix, which was particularly common among the Vikings in eastern Sweden and western Russia.
