The seed of the Church
The BBC seems bizarrely unable to explain why the case of Abdul Rahman is significant to Christians in a way which straightforward discrimination isn't. A most peculiar episode of Reporting Religion on the World Service featured a solemn Q & A in which two reporters speculated that President Bush particularly objected to execution of Christians in Afghanistan because he felt America had paid for the government there. It seems not to have occurred to anyone that executing Christians who refuse to deny Christ is rather uniquely significant.So, martyrdom through the ages:
St. Perpetua
Scillitan Martyrs
Fabian
Agnes
Vincent of Saragossa
Martyrs of Japan
Polycarp
The forty martyrs of Sebaste
Justin
Martyrs of Lyons
Alban
