Golden Legend of Young Saints

For 2000 years now, young Christians have lived - and often died - for Christ, and with a courage that many adults find hard to muster.

Although she was just thirteen, in 304 pagan authorities tortured and murdered brave Agnes of Rome for her Christian faith; for the same reason - and just over a hundred years ago - a Bantu king in Uganda burned to death young Charles Lwanga (c. 1863-1886) and his companions.

The tales of these 37 saints are told here, along with those of many others who, though young, have joined the ranks of the greatest saints: some by dying for their faith; many more by living for it.
