Overview"To be Christian in the second century A.D meant to be persecuted in the most horrific ways. Tortures such as being boiled to death, being skinned alive, torn apart at the limbs at a round wheel, being burnt alive or being fed to the dogs were only some of the unthinkable tortures that emperors of that time thought up, to rid of those who believed in Jesus Christ or those who had the thought of believing in Him cross their minds. Christianity is the religion most known to be pursued by the Persians, the Ottoman Empire and many others. Hideous torturings afflicted upon early Christians continued with latter day Christian followers, making Holy men of them, as they were honored by God for their endless and courageous faith. Jesus said to his disciples in Matthew 16:24""Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.Thus, for centuries barbarians committed atrocities while swarming through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Central Europe and others. Greece was also one of the barbarians' targets. They shed the blood of the innocent throughout all of Greece without any hesitation. Men, women, elderly even children were submitted to the horrifying torments of the barbaric armies. Even today, Christians are being persecuted and beheaded throughout the world for their faith in Christ and continue to be tortured for His love. Learn some of the true and horrifying stories of early Christians and the afflictions they endured until their last breath."
