<br/><br/> Wild beasts could not shake her faith.  It  is the year AD 203  in Carthage,  North Africa. Perpetua, an affluent young   mother, is  charged with converting to Christianity and is  sent to  prison. But  her freedom can be secured easily. All  she has  to do is offer one pinch of  incense in honor to the  Roman  gods. With this simple act of devotion and  loyalty to  the  Roman Empire she can regain her freedom and return to  her   infant son and a life of comfort. As her father pleads  for  Perpetua to consider  the welfare of her child and the   reputation of their family, she slowly makes  her way to face   the Roman proconsul and declare her final decision. What   will  it be? This episode of Torchlighters: Heroes of the   Faith presents one of the  most influential, true stories of   the Early Church.--Christian History Institute.
