A '''martyr''' is a person killed for supporting a religious or other cause. Often, his or her death will inspire others to take up the cause. The original martyr was [[Justin Martyr]], killed for his faith in [[Christ]] in 165 AD. Many of the early [[Apostolic Fathers|Church Fathers]] were martyred. In fact, according to tradition, only one of the [[Twelve Disciples]] (The [[Apostle John]]) died of old age.
