This article explores the grim history of Anabaptists, who faced brutal persecution by both Baptists and Catholics throughout the centuries. Notably, in 1529, 350 believers were executed in a single incident, reflecting the widespread violence against those who rejected established Christian norms, such as Christmas as instituted by Constantine. Despite the atrocities, including torture, imprisonment, and the burning of over 10,000 Anabaptists, their teachings spread across regions. This account sheds light on the resilience and unwavering faith of the Anabaptist community amidst such abject suffering.

Mass executions became the norm. In just one incident in 1529 there were 350 believers put to death at one time. One thousand men were sent forth secretly to track down and kill these believers. In some areas these teachings were stamped out through eradication by death. But the fruit of all this was that the work spread and burned brighter. The writings of the torture, rape and murder which these Anabaptists had to endure are horrific. Very often they had to flee and live in caves and forests. In later decades the catholic Jesuits set themselves to annihilate the brethren in Moravia and elsewhere. In a period of 18 years at least 10,220 Anabaptists were burnt alive as well as 97,000 imprisoned. Martyrs leaving Catholicism Martyrs for not accepting Christmas
