Smidt ud til hundene Traditional Geocache

Under reformationen (indført i Danmark 1536) blev en præst fra Vinderød Kirke stenet ihjel fordi han under en prædiken talte imod paven, helgendyrkelse og afladshandel det var der for de stenede ham.

I følge tidens skik og brug, så skulle røvere og mordere ædes af hunde om natten. Men præstens lig lå urørt næste morgen. Og nu blev bønderne ilde til mode (forundrede). De fik kloge mænd til at læse over liget Men lige meget hjalp det. Han lå også den følgende morgen urørt. Men de kloge mænd havde naturligvis svar på rede hånd hans religion ville sikkert blive statsreligion, så det var nok grunden til at hundene ikke ville æde ham Og hans religion blev virkelig statsreligion, for vi er jo i dag protestanter og lutheranere i Danmark.

Senere blev der rejst et kors på stedet nord for Skovridergårdens have, og man sagde hvis korset forfaldt så ville der udbryde sygdom blandt bøndernes kvæg. Og når korset så blev sat i stand igen ville sygdommen forsvinde.

Christian Ditlev Andersen, 4.a.

During the Reformation (introduced in Denmark in 1536) a vicar from Vinderød Church was stoned to death because he spoke against the Pope, against worshiping of saints and against sale of indulgences during a sermon.

According to the customs of those days robbers and murderers were to be eaten by dogs during the night. But the corpse of the vicar was untouched the next morning. So the peasants were bewildered. They had wise men read over the corpse. But nothing seemed to help. The vicar was untouched the following morning. However the wise men soon had answers ready. The vicar's religion would probably be the religion of the State and that would be the reason why the dogs wouldn't eat him. As it turned out the vicar's religion in fact became the religion of the State as we are Protestants and Lutherans in Denmark today.

At a later date a cross was placed on the spot North of the garden of Skovriddergården and it was believed that if the cross decayed diseases would break out between the cattle of the farmers. And when the cross was restored again the diseases would disappear.
