Everything about The Holy Child Of La Guardia totally explained
The
Holy Child of La Guardia (
Spanish:
El Santo Niño de La Guardia; died 1491) was an alleged victim of a
ritual murder by the Jews in the town of
La Guardia in the central
Spanish province of
Toledo (
Castile-La Mancha). On
November 16,
1491 an
auto de fe held outside of
Ávila concluded the case with the public execution of several Jewish and
converso suspects that confessed to the crime under torture. Among the executed were Benito Garcia, the converso who initially confessed to the murder. However, no body was ever found, and due to contradictory confessions, the court had trouble coherently depicting how events took place.
Like
Pedro de Arbués, the Holy Infant was quickly made into a
saint by popular acclaim, and his death greatly assisted the
Spanish Inquisition and its
Inquisitor General,
Tomás de Torquemada, in their campaign against
heresy and
crypto-Judaism. The
cult of the Holy Infant is still celebrated in La Guardia.
