Biography
In the annals of Christian martyrdom, few stories capture the fortitude of the faithful quite like that of a nine-year-old boy who faced the Roman executioner with the resolve of a seasoned confessor. This is the story of the child saint known as Justus of Beauvais, whose brief life was extinguished in the fire of the late third-century persecutions. While historical records regarding his early years are sparse, his witness to the faith remains a beacon of courage for the young and the persecuted alike.
