Meditating primarily on the second-century martyrdoms in Lyons and Vienne, France, Pilgrim Holiness offers a view of Christian martyrdom that challenges prevalent misunderstandings about what martyrs are doing in sacrificing their lives.
This paper examines the connection between asceticism and martyrdom from a practical, historical, and theoretical point of view.

Martyrdom, in turn, served as an inspiration for asceticism.
