Receiving or gaining the crown of martyrdom is another way of saying that someone died because he or she remained faithful to their beliefs.
Martyrdom
+ Is the supreme witness given to the truth of the faith.
+ Means bearing witness even unto death
The martyr
+ Bears witness to Christ who died and rose
+ Bears witness to the truth of the faith and of Christian doctrine.
+ Endures death through an act of fortitude.
"Let me become the food of the beasts, through whom it will be given me to reach God." (St. Ignatius of Antioch, Ad Rom. 4, 1 SCh 10, 110)
With love in Christ.
