       THE TORTURE AND DEATH OF SAINT SIMON OF TRENTThe small Simon, a little boy from Trent, was slain on the 21st of March, 1475 A.D., on Maundy Thursday during Holy Week. The Jews of this town wanted to celebrate their Passover in their own way, so they secretly abducted the small boy and carried him to the house of the Jew Samuel. During Holy Week on Maundy Thursday, the day before Good Friday and on the day before the outlawed “Perfidious Passover,” about three hours after supper, the little boy was sitting in front of his parents’ house. The Jew Tobias approached the child, 30 months old, picked him up, and carried him at once to the house of the Jew Samuel.When night fell, the twin brothers Saligman and Samuel, with Tobias, Vitalis (Veitel), Moses, Israel, and Mayr, undressed the little boy and unmercifully butchered him. While Moses strangled him with a handkerchief as he lay across Samuel’s knee, pieces of flesh from his neck were cut with a knife and the blood collected in a bowl. At the same time, they punctured the naked offering with needles and murmured Hebrew curses. They cut pieces of flesh from the boy’s arms and legs and collected the blood in pots.The torturers imitated the crucifixion by holding the twitching body upside down and the arms outstretched, and during this horrible act they spoke the following:Take this, crucified Jesus. Just as our forefathers did once, so may all Christians by land and sea perish.Rewriting historyRewriting history began in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and accelerated after World War II.In 1965, the Catholic Church formally removed him from the Roman Martyrology, claiming that the story was rooted in antisemitic legend rather than reliable evidence.Modern historians, courts, and even many governments and church authorities use the term “blood libel” to condemn certain accusations as slander and to highlight how such claims led to expulsions and judicial executions of Jews, but it is more often used as a tool to shield Jewish people from criticism.https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1851990588986482688
