Summary: This book includes accounts of the martyrdom of the apostles and the stories of martyrs from previous centuries. Next to the Bible, the Martyrs' Mirror has historically held the most significant and prominent place in Amish and Mennonite homes. The Martyrs Mirror is still a beloved book among Amish and Mennonites. While less common now in the 20th century, Martyrs' Mirror is a common wedding gift for Amish and Mennonite families. In 1745, Jacob Gottschalk arranged with the Ephrata Cloister to have them translate the Martyrs Mirror from Dutch into German and to print it. The work took 15 men three years to finish and in 1749, at 1,512 pages, it was the largest book printed in America before the Revolutionary War. [wikipedia]
