In the blood-soaked arena of ancient Carthage, a young noblewoman named Perpetua made history—not just as one of the earliest female Christian writers, but as a fearless martyr who refused to renounce her faith. When the executioner's sword wavered, Perpetua took hold of the blade herself and directed it to her throat, dying with the same bold conviction that still inspires believers today. VOM's Todd Nettleton powerfully retells her gripping story and explains why followers of Jesus honor the Day of the Christian Martyrs on June 29th every year. CBN News.
