pity that, its a first hand account of a young women's martyrdom and is considered one
of the earliest and most beautiful of Christian writings, you can watch it in Andrew
Marrs history of the world instead if you prefer to be spoon fed.

You been watching Mr Marr too, did you note the point where it all went pear shaped?

ummm, not really, I only caught parts of it, from the Chinese emperor until the
Muhammadans or are you talking about the actual written account of Vivia
Perpetua? Christ was noticeable by his absence though.

I was thinking from a Christian perspective in your honour and I think it lost itself with the arrival of Constantine.

Who considers it to be beautiful, Andrew Marr; and why is it significant to you personally?

i consider it to be beautiful and its significant to me because it demonstrates many beautiful Christian principles. In fact how anyone can fail to be moved by it, i have no idea.
