27) How long was Francis David able to serve the pure Christianity of Jesus?

    Francis David served the pure Christianity of Jesus only until 1579; the enemies of religious freedom sentenced him to prison for life as an innovator. They imprisoned him in Deva castle where he died on November 15th 1579.

    The location of Francis David's grave is unknown. At the place of his suffering, in one cell of the castle of Deva, a memorial column preserves his name and proclaims his life's work.

    The first memorial was placed there by our Church in 1910 on the occasion of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Francis David's birth.
