By Susan Reed Team Warsaw From ancient times the Catholic Church has commemorated the lives of individuals who led especially holy lives or who were martyred because of their faith. Initially saints or martyrs were recognized on the day of their death. However by 400 AD, because of the Roman Empire’s persecutions of Christians, there were so many martyrs that their names filled the calendar.

Chris F. trusted the Lord Jesus Christ nearly a year ago, and was baptized Sunday in a lake just outside of Warsaw, Poland. It took Chris a year to follow Christ in believer's baptism because in Poland baptism is not instantaneously observed following a person's decision to follow Christ.
