ongoing existential encounter between religions and of their interconnected con-
victions, beliefs and struggles. It ends with Ragnar’s hope for a future friendship of
the gods, a perspective more commensurate with diverse Viking religion than with
contemporary Christian faith. The whole fragment serves as a metaphor for the
peaceful coexistence of religions in the world of the viewer.
Season 2 – Episode 10: Ragnar Praying the Lord’s Prayer
RAGNAR: I’ve seen you praying to your God. Will you teach me one of your
prayers, so I can learn? (Both kneel)
ATHELSTAN: Our Father, who art in Heaven.
RAGNAR: Our Father, who art in Heaven.
ATHELSTAN: Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on
Earth as it is in Heaven … (Shaky, nervous breaths)
RAGNAR: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. (Footsteps splash)
ATHELSTAN: Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
RAGNAR: And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us.33
