Here is\u00a0another little tale of Christian Martyrdom from the classic of the genre,\u00a0Fox\u2019s Book of Martyrs\u00a0<\/em>(1848). \u00a0<\/em>These acts allegedly occurred during the Fifth Persecution, under Severus, A. D. 192:Perpetua, a married lady, of about twenty-two years. Those who suffered with her were, Felicitas, a married lady, big with child at the time of her being apprehended; and Revocatus, catechumen of Carthage, and a slave. The names of the other prisoners, destined to suffer upon this occasion, were Saturninus, Secundulus and Satur. On the day appointed for their execution, they were led to the amphitheatre. Satur, Saturninus, and Revocatus, were ordered to run the gauntlet between the hunters, or such as had the care of the wild beasts. The hunters being drawn up in two ranks, they ran between, and were severely lashed as they passed. Felicitas and Perpetua were stripped, in order to be thrown to a mad bull, which made his first attack upon Perpetua, and stunned her; he then darted at Felicitas, and gored her dreadfully; but not killing them, the executioner did that office with a sword. Revocatus and Satur were destroyed by wild beasts; Saturninus was beheaded; and Secundulus died in prison. These executions were in the year 205, on the 8th day of March.Culled from:\u00a0Fox\u2019s Book of Martyrs<\/a>

As per usual, I didn’t do anything on Halloween. \u00a0Except watch the storm outside. \u00a0In any event, I had <\/em>created my own burlap Depression-Era Creepy Chic costume, so I thought at the very least I’d share it with you guys. \u00a0Who knows? \u00a0Maybe some year I’ll actually have something to do on Halloween that doesn’t involve sitting around at home in the dark staring out the window at windblown trees or watching wax hands melt on the coffee table (though both are highly underrated activities) – and I can use it to frighten more than just my cats?<\/p>\n
