Dark night and snowstorm seal tragic infant rescue tale
A 1689 Marienburg scene follows a Livonian man fleeing misted homes with his infant and fourteen year old son. Struck by a blizzard he places the infant on snow, searches for shelter, and returns to find a frozen infant, later rescued by the pious minister Skovrovski who shelters the child while seeking aid and answers. Papers later point to the minister as the likely guardian, amid desperate hardship.
