The Great Iconoclasm, also known as the Beeldenstorm, occurred in the Netherlands in the 16th century as a result of the spread of Calvinism. Iconoclasts, or those who opposed the use of religious images, destroyed countless art works and religious artifacts in Catholic churches throughout the region. The Thirty Years' War was a conflict that occurred later in Europe, while Saint Anthony's Fire was a disease caused by consumption of contaminated rye. The Counter-Reformation was a Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation, aimed at restoring the authority and influence of the Catholic Church.
