Both brothers were named 'Ewald'? That seems strange. Is there any more history on these two? I would to learn more about them.

St. Ewald and Ewald, soon again after the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux, we have the privilege of celebrating these two siblings who have witnessed to Christ, to the point of martyrdom. Beloved saintly brothers pray for all families where strife is more common than brotherhood. Even though love and cooperation seems almost impossible, help to ease the pain of terrible differences, deceit and manipulation. Give us patience, respect and tolerance. Amen.

Too brief! I would have liked a longer submission on the brothers. What were the circumstances surrounding their martyrdom? What had they done prior to being martyred?
