Christian Martyrs in Rome: St. Ignatius of Antioch & St. Lawrence | Colosseum and Basilicas

  8:54
The first Christians in Rome bore witness to their faith with great courage, even to the point of giving their lives. In this video, we will explore the story of St. Ignatius of Antioch, martyred most likely in the Colosseum, and St. Lawrence, the charitable deacon who presented the poor as the true treasure of the Church before being executed on a gridiron. We will visit the Basilica of St. Clement and the Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls, both linked to their memory. A journey through Christian Rome that speaks of faith, testimony, and charity.
