Saints Who Were Devoted to the Passion of Our Lord
The second or third Bishop of Antioch ♗ in Syria, Ignatius was probably of Syrian birth. A tradition holds that the little child Jesus embraced in the midst of the disciples ( Mark 9:36) was a young Ignatius of Antioch. It is very likely that, like Saint Polycarp, Ignatius was a disciple of the Apostle John.

In his old age, Ignatius received the sentence of death for refusing to pay honor to the Roman deities ðŋ ð
♂️ ð♂️ . An armed guard - "ten leopards," ð he called them - escorted him to the Roman capital. On the way, he wrote letters to the Christian communities that he passed through, ⛪ ð ✍️ which immediately became treasured texts for the early Church. The best-known of these is the letter he wrote to the Romans ð️ warning them against attempting to rescue him when he arrived. "Permit me," he wrote, "to be an imitator of my God."

Ignatius had no doubts about the sort of death he faced in the Roman amphitheater, yet he was resolute. "Let fire ðĨ and the cross; let the crowds of wild beasts ðĶ ; let tearings, breakings, and dislocations of bones ðĶī ; let cutting off of members; let shatterings of the whole body; and let all the dreadful torments of the devil come upon me: only let me attain to Jesus Christ."

After his death, Ignatius' relics were shared throughout the eastern Church, before finally coming to rest at the Basilica of Saint Clement in Rome.
