The martyrs......

"The martyrs stand before us as real heroes of the spirit, and we humbly bow before them, praying to them as living examples giving their minds and hearts to God… They inspire Christians of today to have courage, patience, a strong will, and most importantly, trust in God. Today's struggles are not any less than they were in the old days, only now the temptations and lures are more sophisticated." - Patriarch Kirill
