When Christians
were persecuted
all these virtues
were seen as they
had never been
seen before.
Even when they
were flogged
within an inch
of their lives,
tortured in the
most despicable
ways imaginable
and put to death
by fire, sword
or by being thrown
to the wild beasts,
their composure
was breathtaking.
