Vidar is called the god of vengeance. He avenged his father Odin's death at Ragnarok, by killing the wolf Fenrir.
3. How did Vidar kill the Fenris Wolf after it had eaten his father, Odin, at the battle of Ragnarok?

Answer: He stepped on its bottom jaw with his boot , grasped its upper jaw, and pulled its mouth apart.. Then he stabbed it in the heart with his sword

Vidar's thick boot was made of all the scraps of leather from the toe or heel that were thrown out when shoes were made. Because of this, if you wanted to help the gods at Ragnarok, you would throw these pieces away when you made boots. Vidar was one of the Aesir who survived Ragnarok.

This day seems to be named for gods of war. In French, Spanish, and Italian, this day of the week is named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
