BY FATHER THEOPHAN MACKEYSt. Job of Pochaiv Orthodox ChurchLos AlamosI have been hearing the word “martyr” thrown around broadly and cavalierly in recent days, even by some in my church and vocation. The word “martyr” comes from the Greek for “witness.” But more specifically people are currently using it to denote a Christian martyr. But Christ is the only reason that one can be a Christian martyr. Saint George was a soldier who laid down his arms and was killed for his witness to Jesus Christ. I would posit that if Christians acted more regularly like Jesus Christ, and actually, consistently avoided all those things that they demonize other people and groups for (abortion, pornography, immorality, greed, etc.)
