Martyrdom as a Confession of Jesus Christ through the Dignity of a Person

Summary/Abstract: The first three centuries of the Christian Church are the period in wich the numerical growth, the geographical expansion and the impact of Christ’s Church, were extraordinary. Given the more than precarious conditions and the obstacles that stood against the development of the Church, we can state that surely this has been the golden age of Christianity.1 More than once, different historians of the Church, as well as and theologians, asked themselves, and their worries are familiar to us up to the present day, what was the secret of such a spectacular growth? Inevitably, we always get to the term mission, on which there were written a great amount of studies, papers, and books that have filled many library shelves, personal or theological ones and not only. Thus, different explanations and argumentations have been formulated regarding pre- Nicaean or Early Church mission. Martyrdom and martyrdom willingness of the countless martyrs during the persecutions were possible mainly due to these martyrs consciousness of belonging to the kingdom of God, a consciousness with a strong eschatological character.
