Here is one of the many peices of art that depict
the persecution found in the meuseum.
You can see behind me the shrine on the "Hill
of Beheading"
Only a few martyrs are buried here, where they
knew the details of the people. Since one could
be executed without trail, most would have been martyred without
any written record and their remains cast into the river.
Preists would have dressed in farmer's
clothing like this to avoid
detection.
Here are some of the implements used. Behind
them are pictures and descriptions of
the various ways people would have been
tourtured or put to death, including
kneeing on coals with a weight across
the thys. Most of the descriptions included
words that are not on my vocabulary list at
school....
Here are some of the historical
artifacts of the churches during the
time of the persecution. Don't worry,
the irons and the circular cutter were not
for torture, they are simply the tools for making
hosts for communion!
Finally, an unexpected peice of American
Culture---Rollerblades!
