You probably don't know Polish so I will tell You what is the biography of saint child Gabriel Zabludowski from around Zabłudów, Poland, where my grandma is also from.
"(…) Meanwhile, early that morning, an unknown man named Shutko arrived in the village. He lived in the city and leased land in Zwierki. Shutko belonged to one of the ancient, cruel, fanatical sects. Members of this terrible sect, violating all divine and human laws, kidnapped young children for their ritual ceremonies and, along with animals, sacrificed them. Child murders were rare, making it difficult to find and punish the criminals—the sectarians.
(…)
Taking advantage of the absence of adults and the child's gullibility, Shutko kidnapped Gabriel and secretly took him to Białystok, where the sect was located. The sect members were already waiting for them. They dragged the innocent Christian child to a basement and subjected him to torture. The child's weak hands tried to defend themselves. However, the sectarians tied the child up and began stabbing his body with sharp knives, gradually drawing blood. Then the boy was crucified, just like Jesus Christ. The cross was placed in a depression, into which the blood of the little martyr flowed. In his terrible agony, Gabriel not only called out for his mother, like ordinary children, but also invoked God in prayer. And Christ gave him the strength to endure all this terrible suffering.
DISCLAIMER: This is of Orthodox Church of Poland and I will not fight with fools who will say " oh but Poland is catholic" "oh but this" "oh but that". Guys. Use Google for any question like that. If there will be too many nasty or stupid comments, I will just delete this post because I don't have the bandwidth for it. So if You want to have this information, screenshot it

What is your point?
From Wikipedia
According to tradition, six-year-old Gabriel was kidnapped from his home in the village of Zwierki (13 km from Zabłudów, Grodno Uezd, Grand Duchy of Lithuania; today’s Poland) during the Jewish Passover, while his parents, pious Orthodox Christians Peter and Anastasia Govdel, were working in a nearby field. Shutko, a Jewish arendator of Zverki, was accused of taking the boy to Białystok, piercing him with sharp objects and draining his blood for nine days, before bringing the dead body back to Zverki and dumping it in a local field.
Good post OP. I’d never read this account.
