In a log hut deep in a forest north of Oslo, Norway, a man who has done as much as any other to keep Christian hope alight in the darkness of occupied Europe will celebrate Christmas, as he has for two years past, a solitary prisoner. Eivind Josef Berggrav resigned his title and position as Bishop of Oslo and Primate of Norway's State Lutheran Church, on Feb. 24, 1942.
