Hutterite Pilgrimage: Kreuz (Criț), The New Hutterite Colony of the Carinthians
Still standing today is the fortified church that the Hutterites were locked up in right before their escape and flight to Wallachia. *Quote from the Chronicle:* (1767 Preparations for the secret flight) Just at this time, God brought our two dear brothers, Joseph Kuhr and Johannes Stahl, back to us, and almost the first words brother Andreas Wurz said to them were: Now brother Joseph, have you come to lead us out of here? Brother Joseph replied, Yes, brother Andreas, if it is God's will. Then the two brothers reported that in Moldavia and Wallachia there was land, places to live, and freedom in plenty.
