I also like to think that our two brothers and five novices, held captive for five weeks, who prayed with and preached to Keke and his men and allowed Keke an act of magnanimity in their release to counter his former brutality, were also instrumental in his change of heart and surrender.
The brothers and novices were there in force; rows and rows of them in their white uniforms and the roaring beautiful harmony of their combined voices was the sound of faith, faith in the midst of all adversity, somehow stronger, yet humbler, more moving than ever before.
Seven candles were lit as different brothers interceded for each of the seven, giving thanks for their lives and then there were wreaths laid as the brothers sang and finally a Eucharist in which the lines of communicants went on and on for so long that it seemed it would last forever.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, starring MGM soprano Jane Powell and handsome baritone Howard Keel, has retained a remarkably loyal following among fans of the musical film ever since its release in 1954.
The casting of each brother with his rugged, masculine looks and ability to dance with grace and athleticism, presided over by an authoritative Howard Keel, gives the film a dynamic impetus second to none in an MGM musical.
The documentary also highlights the care taken over the casting of the brothers, two of whom including Keel were not dancers and their often brave and brilliant feats of acrobatic dancing executed on precarious planks and other props.

When the third brother runs afoul of the emperor and is sentenced to be beheaded, the fourth brother, who has bones of iron, takes his place.
The Seven Chinese Brothers is for children who are past the time when they are easily frightened because they take everthing very literally, because the brothers face death at the hands of the Chinese emperor in this story.
Also, your child may be a little frightened by the emperor's attempts to execute the brothers, so it is good to be able to explain the protections in your own society that would prevent this from happening to you or your child.
