Catholic Saints

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Taylor Kemp sit down to discuss St. Marcella, the early Church martyr of Rome, who's feast day is celebrated on January 31st. St. Marcella was born in 325 AD and died in 410 AD, around the time of the sack of Rome. During this tumultuous time in Church history (between the Council of Nicaea and the sack of Rome) St. Marcella befriended St. Jerome who wrote several letters to and about St. Marcella. Through these letters, we learn of a woman of the Church who modeled virtue and walked the path of Christ to the end. Eventually, St. Marcella died of wounds she received during the sack of Rome.
