Red Martyrdom: The Life and Sacrifice of St. Maximilian Kolbe
In this second episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, we look at “red martyrdom” giving one’s life for Christ. On his feast day, we share the inspiring story of St. Maximilian Kolbe: from his childhood vision of two crowns, one white for purity and one red for martyrdom — to his brave fight against evil through his love for the Blessed Mother. You’ll hear about his arrest for helping refugees, his time in Auschwitz, and the moment he offered to die in another man’s place. Even in the starvation bunker, his days were filled with prayer, song, and a deep peace that only God can give.
Stay tuned for the next episode — the touching story of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr,” who offered her whole life to God through suffering.
