Znienawidzeni przez świat, ukochani przez Chrystusa: męczennicy w Peristephanon Prudencjusza
Journal Title: Biografistyka Pedagogiczna - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Christ’s disciples, who lived in the first centuries of Christianity, were loyal citizens of Roman Empire. It is true, that they refused to perform pagan gods’ and caesars’ worship, but at the same time they prayed for the rulers and treated everybody with fraternal love. They remained enemies to their fellow citizens, though. Reading Prudentius’ Peristephanon, we discover this once again. Among the poet’s heroes we find soldiers Emeterius and Chelidonius (1), disliked and misunderstood teacher Cassianus (9) and young girl Eulalia, who runs away from the countryside family estate in order to profess her faith and die for it (3). Striving for communion with God, Prudentius’ martyrs part from their world and become strangers among their own colleagues, friends, relatives. Nevertheless in unity with their beloved Divine Saviour, who by shedding His Blood destroyed sin – the reason of every enmity, loneliness and alienation – they are not alone any more and love the world, which due to that ceases to be alien to them.
