The Christian Church was founded by Jesus, and many chose death rather than renounce their faith. Protestants do not believe in saints, or even in the efficacy of praying for the dead (Martin Luther had the Book of Maccabees deleted from the Bible as it had been written, where this is specifically addressed). No matter: Moving and inspiring to read of those who endured the persecutions of emperors (such as Diocletian, who visited horrors upon mere children who were loyal to Christ and His Church).
