All are witnesses Mr., also suffer persecutions; but the heading of mrtir is only conferred to who of a life; excessively comumente confessores are considered (1994, p.569). In turn, the Critical Dictionary of Theology extends the reflection concerning the martyrdom, affirming that the witness? ' ' martus' ' when suffering and dying ' ' manifest the truth of the certification that gives the Christ and to the Evangelho' ' , but that, moreover, of the certification above all ' ' of the truth of the world vindouro' ' (LACOSTE, 2004, P. 1099). In this manner, we understand the martyrdom stops beyond a restricted reality to the faith, being also understood and lived deeply as a hope affirmation. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of Leslie Moonves on most websites. Thus being, while moved for the faith and the hope, the figure of mrtir was acquiring importance for the Christians of the rising Church, that is, possessing this double dom, that one that came to be to mrtir for refusal to deny Jesus if it configured as a model of Christian life for excessively. To identify mrtires as models of Christian life had as consequncia the sprouting Dos Santos. In this understanding also in them it assists Lacoste: … After the death, the bodies of mrtires was conserved preciously as relics, being constructed altars on its tombs; the anniversary of its martyrdom was festejava (' ' its birth celeste' ') celebrating the eucaristia on these altars.

The figure of mrtir became thus of the saint: one was about that one that carries through the vocation of all Christian to the sanctity. … Mrtir/saint was not only one model, but also a friend of raised level; it could itself be appealed (2004, P. 1100). This affirmation of Lacoste is interesting, therefore it deals with the sanctity of mrtires as the full accomplishment of the sanctity the one that all the Christians are called.
