None of the 19 that were executed were " burned". Most were a hanging, others pressed to death by stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that just general accusations of being witch? As part of the infamous “swimming test,” accused witches were dragged to the nearest body of water, stripped to their undergarments, bound and then tossed in to to see if they would sink or float. Since witches were believed to have spurned the sacrament of baptism, it was thought that the water would reject their body and prevent them from submerging. According to this logic, an innocent person would sink like a stone, but a witch would simply bob on the surface. The victim typically had a rope tied around their waist so they could be pulled from the water if they sank, but it wasn’t unusual for accidental drowning deaths to occur. Witch swimming derived from the “trial by water,” an ancient practice where suspected criminals and sorcerers were thrown into rushing rivers to allow a higher power to decide their fate. This custom was banned in many European counties in the Middle Ages, only to reemerge in the 17th century as a witch experiment, and it persisted in some locales well into the 18th century. For example, in 1710, the swimming test was used as evidence against a Hungarian woman named Dorko Boda, who was later beaten and burned at the stake as a witch.

FTNK Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Performers are great. Definitely a strong corps that will score well. I really dislike the show. It seems to be a number of FFF brass chords played standing still connected by voice-overs and flat singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
