Donar's Oak (also Thor's Oak or, via interpretatio romana, Jove's Oak) was a sacred tree of the Germanic pagans located in an unclear location around what is now Hesse, Germany. According to the 8th-century Vita Bonifatii auctore Willibaldo, Saint Boniface, an Anglo-Saxon missionary, and his retinue cut down the tree earlier in the same century.
