As I stood there, I simply couldn't imagine being burned. I couldn't even get my head around the agony it must have been. Of course, not only women were burned, it happened to all free thinkers, sspecially during the time of the Inquisition, which went on for years in many European countries.

I sent up a silent prayer for those poor souls who suffered such a dreadful death. I think if I had a choice, I would prefer freezing as although the intense cold must be horrible, the body shuts down and it must be a more peaceful death. I just can't imagine melting to death.
