One of the earliest accounts of a Blood Passover was recorded by historian Socrates Scholasticus in the Fourth Century, who reported the Blood Passover took place shortly after the violent Jewish uprising happened in Alexandria that caused St. Cyril to expel the Jews:
In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, The Prioress's Tale is about Blood Passover martyrdom, and in the last verse Chaucer mentions Little St. Hugh of Lincoln, an actual Blood Passover martyr:
Here's a picture I took from my copy of Butler's Lives of The Saints (printed pre-Vatican II) that talks about St. Simon of Trent and St. William of Norwich:
Unfortunately, all we really have regarding proof of the Blood Passover of St. Robert of Bury comes from this snippet of historian Jocelin of Brakelond, who referenced the now extinct book "Book of the Miracles of St. Robert":
And here's yet a third documentary on Blood Passovers that I highly recommend watching (you obviously don't have time to watch all of these today) and that's okay. Just wanting to share on St. Simon of Trent day!
And I will wrap up my lesson today with another song that a friend wrote, called "Ballad of Saint Simon of Trent". Happy St. Simon of Trent Day, everybody!
