CAPTURE AND EXECUTION OF A PATRIOT

By 1816, the Spaniards had invaded the New Granada by all sides. The Congress dissolved, and on March 14, 1816 Camilo Torres resigned the presidency, many prominent political and social figures of Bogotá were forced to leave trying to escape the imminent invasion. Camilo Torres Tenorio, Manuel Rodríguez Torices, Francisco José de Caldas, and José Fernández Madrid, among others, headed to Buenaventura to sail from there, to Buenos Aires.[14] Unfortunately for the party, the ship they were going to board never arrived, and were forced to turn back to Popayán to wait till the next day. The next day, they were captured by the Spaniards and taken to Bogotá.[15]

On October 4, the prisoners were tried by the War Council established by Pablo Morillo. Torices was sentenced to death in the Plaza Mayor, on October 5, 1816, and his property was confiscated.[16] Together with María Dávila, Count Pedro Felipe de Casa Valencia, and Camilo Torres Tenorio, they were hanged on that day. After they died, their bodies were taken down, and the bodies of Torres and Rodríguez were shot in the head and in the chest respectively,[17] then they were decapitated and dismembered.[18] Rodríguez Torices' head was put inside a metal cage and hung from a 30 feet spear and displayed on the outskirts of the city, where the De La Sabana station now stands, to send a message to the insurgents.[19][20] Their heads, also victims of an attack by savage birds,[21] were allowed to be taken down and given burial on October 14, in honor of the King's Birthday.[22]

THE NINE MARTYRS ARE EXECUTED
The Independence of Cartagena (1816)

After more than three months of atrocious blockage and finally seizing Cartagena de Indias, the pacifier Pablo Morillo started a regime of terror. Many of the inhabitants of Bocachica were exterminated without mercy not previous judgment; there were massive executions at the Plaza de la Merced, imprisonments for the crime of disloyalty to the King of Spain and other abuses of authority.

The objective of the Spaniards was to give an exemplary lesson, and the best way was to judge and execute the most recognized leaders of the city in the public square. Nine were selected for the death penalty, which were fleetingly judged without a legitimate defense.

On February 19th of 1816 the recently named War Council sentences: "Everything thoroughly examined.., the Council has condemned and condemns the referred Manuel del Castillo y Rada, Martín Amador, Pantaleón Germán Ribón, Santiago Stuart, Antonio José de Ayos, José María García de Toledo and Miguel Díaz Granados, to being hanged and confiscate their possessions, for committing the crime of high treason. And the council condemns Don Manuel Anguiano to be passed by the arms, the sword, preceded by his degradation ... and finally José María Portocarrero is condemned to being hanged and his belongings confiscated..".

On February 24th are taken to the execution site outside the walled downtown near the Cienága de la Matuna and their corpses buried in a common pit at the Manga cemetery.

At the place where they were sacrificed exists today the Paseo o Camellón de los Mártires, built in their honor.

Lyrics:
-Greek-

Ean tes gloses ton anthropon lalo ke ton angelon
agapin de mi eho, gegona halkos ihon i cymbalon alalazon.
Ke ean eho profitian ke ido ta mystiria panta
oste ori methistanin,agapin de mi eho
ouden imi.
I agapi makrothymi, christevete,
I agapi ou zili, i agapi ou perperevete, ou fysioute.
Panta stegi, panta pistevi, panta elpizi, panta ypomeni,
i agapi oudepote ekpipti
ite de profitie katargithisonte
ite glose pafsonte
ite gnosis katargithisete
Nini de meni, pistis, elpis, agapi,
ta tria tafta,
mizon de touton i agapi.

English translation:

Though I speak with the tongues of angels
if have not love, my worlds would resound with but a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries
and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains
if I have not love I am nothing
Love is patient, full of goodness,
love tolerates all things, aspires to all things
Love never dies
while the prophecies shall be done away
tongues shall be silenced
knowledge shall fade
Thus then shall linger only
faith, hope and love
but the greatest of these is love.

Love
1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak in the tongues(a) of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,(b) but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

La Excelencia del Amor
1 Corintios 13

1Si yo hablara lenguas humanas y angélicas, pero no tengo amor, he llegado a ser como metal que resuena o címbalo que retiñe.
2Y si tuviera el don de profecía, y entendiera todos los misterios y todo conocimiento, y si tuviera toda la fe como para trasladar montañas, pero no tengo amor, nada soy.
3Y si diera todos mis bienes para dar de comer a los pobres, y si entregara mi cuerpo para ser quemado, pero no tengo amor, de nada me aprovecha.
4El amor es paciente, es bondadoso; el amor no tiene envidia; el amor no es jactancioso, no es arrogante;
5no se porta indecorosamente; no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no toma en cuenta el mal recibido ;
6no se regocija de la injusticia, sino que se alegra con la verdad;
7todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.
8El amor nunca deja de ser; pero si hay dones de profecía, se acabarán; si hay lenguas, cesarán; si hay conocimiento, se acabará.
9Porque en parte conocemos, y en parte profetizamos;
10pero cuando venga lo perfecto, lo incompleto se acabará.
11Cuando yo era niño, hablaba como niño, pensaba como niño, razonaba como niño; pero cuando llegué a ser hombre, dejé las cosas de niño.
12Porque ahora vemos por un espejo, veladamente, pero entonces veremos cara a cara; ahora conozco en parte, pero entonces conoceré plenamente, como he sido conocido.
13Y ahora permanecen la fe, la esperanza y el amor, estos tres; pero el mayor de ellos es el amor.

La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA) version

L´amour (lA chArItÉ)
1 Corinthiens 13

1Quand je parlerais les langues des hommes et des anges, si je n'ai pas la charité, je suis un airain qui résonne, ou une cymbale qui retentit.
2Et quand j'aurais le don de prophétie, la science de tous les mystères et toute la connaissance, quand j'aurais même toute la foi jusqu'à transporter des montagnes, si je n'ai pas la charité, je ne suis rien.
3Et quand je distribuerais tous mes biens pour la nourriture des pauvres, quand je livrerais même mon corps pour être brûlé, si je n'ai pas la charité, cela ne me sert de rien.
4La charité est patiente, elle est pleine de bonté; la charité n'est point envieuse; la charité ne se vante point, elle ne s'enfle point d'orgueil,
5elle ne fait rien de malhonnête, elle ne cherche point son intérêt, elle ne s'irrite point, elle ne soupçonne point le mal,
6elle ne se réjouit point de l'injustice, mais elle se réjouit de la vérité;
7elle excuse tout, elle croit tout, elle espère tout, elle supporte tout.
8La charité ne périt jamais. Les prophéties prendront fin, les langues cesseront, la connaissance disparaîtra.
9Car nous connaissons en partie, et nous prophétisons en partie,
10mais quand ce qui est parfait sera venu, ce qui est partiel disparaîtra.
11Lorsque j'étais enfant, je parlais comme un enfant, je pensais comme un enfant, je raisonnais comme un enfant; lorsque je suis devenu homme, j'ai fait disparaître ce qui était de l'enfant.
12Aujourd'hui nous voyons au moyen d'un miroir, d'une manière obscure, mais alors nous verrons face à face; aujourd'hui je connais en partie, mais alors je connaîtrai comme j'ai été connu.
13Maintenant donc ces trois choses demeurent: la foi, l'espérance, la charité; mais la plus grande de ces choses, c'est la charité.

Louis Segond version
