A Christmas Week Full of Martyrs with President Kyle Washut

The After Dinner Scholar

This podcast was posted on December 26, the day after Christmas. It was the commemoration of St. Stephen’s martyrdom described in Acts chapter 7. On the 27th, we remember St. John, the only apostle who was not martyred. The 28th is the memorial of the Holy Innocents who were murdered by King Herod in his attempt to kill Jesus. And finally on Friday, we remember the martyrdom of St. Thomas a Becket. Why do we do that during Christmas week? Wyoming Catholic College President Kyle Washut clarifies it for us.
