On this day in 1527 Anabaptist Minister Felix Manz was executed by other Christians for worshipping Jesus incorrectly. Manzs brother and mother encouraged him to stand firm and suffer for Jesus sake. He was taken by boat onto the River Limmat. His hands were bound and pulled behind his knees and a pole was placed between them. He was executed by drowning in Lake Zürich on the Limmat. His alleged last words were, Into thy hands, O God, I commend my spirit. Because believing in the wrong god in the wrong place and wrong time will get you killed, and Jesus will not step in and save you, no matter how hard you pray.
