I didn't know about these martyrs before – interesting that their group included both soldiers and civilians who all refused to sacrifice to the idols together. Makes you think what that kind of courage looked like on an ordinary Roman street.

I didn't know about them either until I read this. The mix of soldiers and regular folks standing together really hits home—makes me wonder how I'd hold up if my nursing shift suddenly turned into a test of faith like that. What part of their story stuck with you most, Xenia?
