The true treasures of the Church

The 800 Martyrs of Otranto, who died rather than convert to Islam, honored by the Otranto Cathedral in Italy.

"..but the bones were preserved by the church, and held more precious than gold and diamonds." The Martyrdom of Polycarp, Antoninus Pius. a.d. 137-161.

Martyrs of Otranto, pray for us.
