Why was the herbalist Mare burned at the stake, and how did the executors celebrate...
In 1632, Mare Radolovich, the herbalist and healer of Svetvinčent, who until then had helped and cared for her fellow villagers with her herbs, was accused of witchcraft, and she had signed a pact with the devil.
