| Religious Catalogue |  | Polycarp - DVD
In this feature film, a young slave girl, Anna, is rescued by Christians in 2nd Century Smyrna and befriended by their aged Bishop Polycarp, who had been a disciple of St. John the Apostle. From him, she learns about Jesus and the Catholic faith. When the Roman proconsul demands that all citizens worship Caesar to show their allegiance to Rome, Polycarp and the Christians must find the courage to stand for their faith against the growing threat of persecution. Anna is forced to come to grips with the truth about Christ and choose for whom she is willing to live, and for whom she is willing to die. |
