“All religions have periods in their history which are looked back to with retrospective fear and trembling as eras of persecution, and each religion has its own book of martyrs. “
Richard Le Gallienne
I ran across this qoute online, Richard was an English “love story” writer that lived from 1866 – 1947. After reading about the persecutions during the Thrid Century and reading this qoute it really created an awareness that other religions view their dead patriarchs as martyrs. A term that I associated with only Christians before, I now see that the word can be used on both ends of the sword. (imgage of Valerian, Emperor who persecuted Christians during the 3rd Century)
