Yes. But I believe the actual words pre-date the conversion/missionary events, as the Proto-Germanics must have known something about the relgious practises of the Romans and Greeks, even though they hadn't accepted them. Similar to how today, people in non-muslim nations may be familiar with what a mosque is, while not actually having converted to Islam themselves... Leasnam (talk) 20:07, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
