Note.—A. D. 852, the zeal of some to die for the
name of Jesus Christ was so great that multitudes of
236them confessed Christ, and, hastening to martyrdom,
suffered themselves to be put to death as defenseless
lambs, for Christ’s sake. It is stated that
among these there were two young heroes of Jesus
Christ, namely, Emilas and Hieremias, who, from a
well-meaning and special zeal, spoke against Mohammed,
and thus offered themselves, to suffer for
Christ their Savior. For this they were both executed
with the sword, whereupon (according to the
testimony of the ancients), though the weather had
been fine in the forenoon, immediately at the hour
of their death, there followed mighty peals of thunder,
so that the earth quaked; terrible lightnings fell
from the air; great darkness, heavy hailstorms, furious
whirlwinds, and storms manifested themselves,
as though the insensible elements (according to
Eulogius) were mourning the death of these pious
martyrs; whose dead bodies were taken across the
river and suspended on stakes, on the 15th of September,
A. D. 852. A. Mell., fol. 309, col. 4, from
Memor. Sanctor., lib. 2, cap. 2. For certain reasons,
however, we will not comment on these persons,
though we know of nothing to censure, as regards
either their faith or their life.
