0Between 1936 and 1939 a brutal civil war engulfed Spain, one which pitted a bloodthirsty coalition of communist fanatics against those who wished to return Spain to her Christian traditions. In the midst of this struggle, a curious drama of life unfolded. Seven men from Orthodox Romania arrived to shed their blood for Catholic Spain. Two of these soldiers gave their lives for the cause, far from their native homeland. Presented here are a selection of writings from Ion Mota and Vasile Marin, as well as Mota's final letters, his testament, through which is shown the miracle of the martyr's mind.Fully illustrated with 90 images from the period, these writings are presented in English for the first time, with commentary from Alexandru Groppe on the contextual and spiritual significance of the Archangel Michael's servants, who perished in the shadow of the southern cross.
