    ST. POLYCARP

    St. Polycarp was personally converted to Christianity by St. John the Evangelist, who appointed him Bishop of Smyrna, which he ended up governing for seventy years. As St. Ignatius of Antioch passed by Smyrna on the road to his martyrdom, St. Polycarp respectfully kissed his chains. These two saints were the link between the Apostles and future generations of Christians in Asia Minor, and together they changed the world through their words and deeds.

    St. Polycarp the Martyr

    During a period of great persecution for Christians, St Polycarp concealed himself in a neighboring village, but his whereabouts had been leaked to the authories. When the authorities found his home, St. Polycarp responded: “God’s Will be done”. His challengers tried relentlessly to persuade him to call Caesar ‘Lord’, but he resolutely answered: “I shall never do what you desire of me”.

    Three days before his martyrdom St. Polycarp saw in a vision his pillow on fire, so bright he had to shield his lives. from which he understood that he should be burnt alive. As he entered the chambers where the officials had assembled to watch his death, he heard a voice from heaven say: “Polycarp, be courageous, and act manfully”.

    Unwavering Faith and Strength

    Again, when the authorities urged him to blaspheme Christ, Polycarp replied: “I have served Him these fourscore and six years, and He never did me any harm, but much good; how can I blaspheme my King and my Savior?”

    The authorities continued to threaten Saint Polycarp with death by wild beast, hanging, and finally by fire. Whereupon St. Polycarp answered: “You threaten me with a fire which burns for a short time and then goes out; but are yourself ignorant of the judgment to come, and of the fire of everlasting torments which is prepared for the wicked. Why do you delay?”

    The wood and other combustibles were heaped around him; his hands were tied; and after praying to Jesus for his executioners and thanking Him for allowing him to drink of His chalice, the fire was set to the pile. A powerful flame, far greater than would be possible given the size of the timber, encircled St. Polycarp’s body. But despite the raging fire, Saint Polycarp remained unharmed.

    Seeing that the fire did not consume his body, he was pierced through the heart and his body burned. The Christians carried away the relics of the martyr, which they considered more precious than the richest jewels or gold, and buried them.
