Why is martyrdom valued in the Christian faith? It is not for the reasons you may think. Why is Christianity the most persecuted faith in the world - or is it? Are there really more martyrs in the 20th century than the rest of history combined? Fr. Chris Alar answers these questions and more!

In 1061, Richeldis, a widow in Little Walsingham in Norfolk, England, prayed to Our Lady asking how she could honor her in some special way. Mary led Richeldis in spirit to Nazareth and showed her the House of the Annunciation, and asked that she build one just like it in Walsingham. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Walsingham became a major pilgrimage site. Then hear how a personal journey of loss led Kara Palladino to support other mothers experiencing a heartbreaking cross of their own.
