Reading: "we fight for the Religion that you have given us and we fight so the honour may be yours." BOJ 13:68-75


"Now Zinon rode forward to the centre of the field of battle and he held aloft his sword and he cried saying “Oh God of Heaven, Oh God of Earth, bless thy people that we may be victorious on this day, that we may have our Religion restored and our Freedom restored.  For we fight for thee, we fight for the Religion that you have given us and we fight so the honour may be yours” Now as Zinon was doing this, the leader of the armies of Rendanoneck rode forward and he came unto Zinon and he rode unto the side of Zinon and he mocked Zinon and told him that he would feast upon the flesh of his children and ravish his wife when the battle was won. 

 And Zinon said unto Aktar the captain of the armies of Rendanoneck. “We do not fight for your land. We do not fight for your possessions.  We do not even fight for the temples you have taken from us. We do not fight you for the places of worship of which you have robbed us. We do not fight for any of the earthly gifts that you have. We fight for the freedom to worship we fight for the freedom to pray and we fight for our God and we fight for our Religion”
