In 1476, outside of the village of Niklashausen in Germany, an uneducated peasant named Hans Behem was tending to his animals in a field, when a vision of the Virgin Mary appeared to him. The Mother of Christ instructed Hans to burn his drum and to lead a revolution. The time had come to eliminate the widespread corruption in the world and to create a more pure and Godly society.
