Simon the Anabaptist

This is a photo of the Anabaptist, Simon, standing in front of his shop about the year 1553. Catholic priests were carrying their images along the street. Everybody knelt at their approach. Only Simon remained standing because he felt it was wrong to give divine honor to these man-made images. He was arrested, confessed his faith freely and openly, and was burned alive. Many people were deeply impressed by Simon's courage and steadfastness. [HR 3]
