VIGNETTES ON SAINTS
ST.
POLYCARP
Polycarp
was a disciple of St. John the Evangelist. A bishop, he was dragged to court
during the persecution and ordered to curse Christ. Polycarp answered:
"Eighty six years I have served Him and He never did me wrong; how can
I blaspheme my King and Saviour?"
He was
sentenced to die by fire but the flames refused to touch him. Eventually, a
soldier stabbed him to death.
