Episode description
Forty-nine Christians were martyred during the great persecution under Diocletian in Roman North Africia in the town of Abitinia. The martyrs were persecuted for their commitment to Sunday worship and reception of the Eucharist. Dr. Elizabeth Klein reflects upon the importance of sacrifice and proper worship as the essential expression of being Christian.
