The Lyons Martyrs
Time for some historic martyrs- I was reading John Calvin's letters last night and came across them- if Calvin had never wrote his letters to them perhaps we'd never know about them.
The 5 young men had just finished studying in Geneva- and were still willing to return to France which had a king very hostile to Protestants.
They were no doubt warned and spent the last few days in Geneva- possibly with Calvin.
Just as he touchingly signed his letters I'm sure he said to them on leaving "Adieu Adieu my brothers"
When the martyrs went to France they were transferred from dungeon to dungeon for 12 months (no doubt having their blessed memories of Geneva keeping them company) before having their execution ordered.
No doubt when John Calvin entered heaven himself he saw the martyrs and got to say "Bonjour Bonjour my brothers" 😊
