In this year 1528, nine brethren and three sisters
were apprehended at Bruck, on the Mur, in Steyermark.
They were condemned for their faith, and
taken in bonds out of the city, to the place of execution;
but they were glad and of good cheer, and
said: “This day we will suffer in this place for the
word of God, and offer to him our sacrifice.”
Rom. 12:1; 2 Tim. 4:6. They also earnestly admonished
the lords of Bruck, that they should
know that they rendered themselves guilty of innocent
blood. A ring having been formed, they all
knelt down (Acts 7:60; 20:36), and earnestly
prayed to God; that they might now finish this
their evening sacrifice. They then arose and submitted
to the sword. The executioner was sad; for
he did not like to do it. The youngest of them all
entreated his brethren, that, since he felt of good
cheer and bold, they should let him suffer the first
pain; he then kissed them, and said: “God bless
you, my beloved brethren; to-day we shall all be
together in Paradise.” Acts 23:43. Thus these nine
brethren were beheaded in a green field; they were
so undaunted that it was astonishing to behold it.
They knelt down; and thus poured out their blood
through the smiting of the sword. The three sisters
were drowned; they would in no wise depart from
God and his truth. The youngest one laughed at
the water; which was seen by many a one there.
Some held that the devil had hardened them; but
others were moved in their hearts, so that they confessed
that God must have given this, since otherwise
it could not be possible. Thus they valiantly
testified to the holy and divine truth.
