St. Ignatius of Antioch

St. Ignatius of Antioch has been well known since the earliest Christian times. He was born in the middle of the first century. Ignatius was the third bishop of Antioch. This is the city where St. Peter labored before he moved to Rome. It is also the city where followers of Jesus were first called Christians. After leading the Church at Antioch for forty years, Ignatius was condemned to death during the reign of Emperor Trajan. He was brought under military guard from Antioch to Rome by ship.

On his journey to Rome, the ship stopped at various ports along the way. At each of these places, crowds of Christians would gather to greet the holy bishop of Antioch. Two of these cities were Smyrna and Troas. From each of those cities, he wrote letters to the Christian communities. In this way, he used the same methods of preaching the Good News as the great St. Paul. One of the letters Ignatius wrote from Troas was to St. Polycarp, a fellow bishop, who is also a martyr. We celebrate his feast on February 23.

When the beloved Ignatius arrived in Rome, he joined the brave Christians in prisons. It was the last day of the public games, December 20, and the bishop was pushed out into the amphitheater. Two fierce lions devoured him. He left behind a beautiful witness to the Gospel in his life and in his letters. St. Ignatius died around 107.
