Saint Lawrence
Afire for the Lord
Rome. 258 A.D. A young Christian foreigner enters the Eternal City for the first time with his wise old mentor. There they discover a people living in fear under authoritarian rule. What’s worse: the authorities want to kill all Christians. To survive, they’ll have to rely on their wits, and a little help from unexpected friends. This is the story of St. Lawrence.

Rating Reason
Saint Lawrence gives all he has, both to the poor and to God. In acts of service and bold witness under threat, Lawrence teaches a bold faith paired with charity. Sixtus also leads with quiet wisdom and perseverance; and Philip, a ‘rich young man,’ sacrifices everything with generosity.
This series contains moments of danger and intensity, including raised voices. It depicts forced participation in pagan rituals, unjust imprisonment, the torture of a Christian convert, and the martyrdom of clergy. One man has his eyes removed before later regaining sight. Lawrence is executed, as is recorded historically, by being burned on a gridiron. While restraint is used in the representation of the moment, parents may want to screen the last few moments of episode 5 before sharing with younger listeners.
