August 15 St. Tarcisius from True Stories For First Communicants by a Sister of Notre Dame, With Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, 1919 . Long ago the Romans were the most famous and most powerful people in the world. In their great city of Rome the Christians were often very cruelly treated, just because they loved and honoured Jesus Christ. Often they were thrown into dark and dirty prisons, from which they were only taken in order to be Martyred. Sometimes Christians were beaten or burnt to death. Sometimes they were thrown to lions or panthers in a large open space surrounded by rows of seats, called the Coliseum. To keep out of the way of the pagan Romans, so that they might live in safety, the Christians dug deep down into the earth and made long passages and rooms. The openings to these hiding-places were made in lonely spots outside the city, and only the Christians knew where they were.
