Amidst tales from ancient times, we also find modern examples like the Armenian Refugee Advertisement - a poignant reminder that martyrdom is not confined to distant eras but persists even today among those fleeing persecution. Lazarus of Bethany or Saint Lazarus experienced martyrdom in its truest form when Jesus restored him back to life after being entombed for days. This miraculous event symbolizes resurrection and divine intervention against all odds. Saint Fabianus - Pope exemplifies how leaders too can become martyrs while defending their flock against oppression and injustice.
