While the martyrs of the early Christian Church will forever stand as the archetypal "true follower" and their blood as the "seed of the Church," the modern world doesn't produce martyrs at the rate it once did. Today, living martyrs have filled that role. The monks who choose to die to the world, leaving everything behind to commit fully to Christ are the ones seriously impacting Christianity. --- Source: [[Markides - Mountain of Silence]] Links: -
