    It sadden me to read that St. Tarbo was saw in half because of a lie and most likely
    racial indiffrences towards the early Christians. I wish more Christians would read
    more stories of those who lost their lives because they were Chrisitan and had made bold decisions to carry the Christianity to make it to now over 2000 years later.Just wanted to thank St. Tarbo and millions of Saints who lived a good example of a true christian and lost their lives to keep Christianity alive and strong. It shows that JESUS is indeed the SON of GOD!
