| | Martyr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Historically, a martyr is a person who dies for their convictions or religious faith, such as during the persecution of early Christians in the Roman Empire. | | | The names of martyrs were enrolled in martyrlogies, and the Feast of All Saints originally commerated specifically all martyrs. | | | The first martyr in Islam was the old woman Sumayyah bint Khabbab[1], the first Muslim to die at the hands of the polytheists of Mecca (specifically, Abu Jahl). |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martyr |
| | Later on veneration of the martyrs was occasionally exhibited in a rather undesirable form; many of the frescoes in the catacombs have been mutilated to gratify the ambition of the faithful to be buried near the saints (retro sanctos), in whose company they hoped one day to rise from the grave. | | | In the Middle Ages the esteem in which the martyrs were held was equally great; no hardships were too severe to be endured in visiting famous shrines, like those of Rome, where their relics were contained. | | | The persecution came to an end with the capture (260) of Valerian by the Persians; his successor, Gallienus (260-68), revoked the edict and restored to the bishops the cemeteries and meeting places. |

| | Martyr - OrthodoxWiki |
| | A martyr is one who gives his life for Christ, physically dying as a witness to the faith. | | | Tertullian once said that "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church," and the Body of Christ continually witnesses to this reality. | | | Martyr itself comes from the Greek μαρτυρος, which means "witness." By traditional liturgical ranking, the martyrs are first among the saints. |

| | The LTTE tiyaki (Tamil) is then not a misunderstood creation of a Christian martyr, but stands in the tradition of the revivalist martial concepts that were emphasised during the Indian struggle for independence in the 20th century. | | | Submissive endurance in suffering is the main virtue of a Christian martyr, who really hands himself over in complete faith to God as a "truth witness" of agape in the steps of Jesus Christ. | | | We could say that the life of a martyr follows the pattern of a rite of marginalisation in which especially humiliation and submission to death are stressed (but ending nevertheless in elevation). |

| | Melkite Greek Catholic Church Information Center Holy Great-Martyr George the Triumphant |
| | Before he became the "Victorious Great Martyr," St. George served in the legions of Rome, making a reputation for himself as a fearless officer and highly respected leader of men, thus laying the groundwork for a later adulation that was to cloud his holy spirit and proximity to God. | | | The hero worshipers had a tendency to forget that his commitment to Jesus Christ, and not his heroic character, made him a venerated saint of the Christian Church. | | | Many think that Holy Great-Martyr George was tortured and beheaded at Nicomedia (Nikomedia) in Asia Minor or at Lydda (Diospolis) in Palestine, about A.D.296. |
