Their courage shook the empire. Their witness still speaks today.

In this episode of Voices of the Saints, journey with us through the gripping story of St. Perpetua and St. Felicity, whose love for Christ proved stronger than fear, stronger than empire, and stronger than death.

Long before St. Anthony was called the Father of Monasticism, another saint quietly walked the sands of Egypt. Betrayed by his own family, fleeing persecution, and vanishing into the wilderness, St. Paul the First Hermit lived ninety years in silence and prayer — sustained by a spring, a palm tree, and a raven sent from heaven.

In this milestone 10th episode of Voices of the Saints, experience the cinematic story of Paul’s hidden life:

• His escape from the brutal persecutions of Decius
• The miracle of the raven and his desert solitude
• His encounter with Anthony the Great
• His peaceful death and the lions that buried him

Paul’s story reminds us that holiness is not found in crowds or acclaim, but in the quiet union of a soul with God.

When emperors commanded him to be silent, he spoke.
When armies hunted him, he hid but never stopped writing.
When the whole world turned against him, he stood firm.

This is the story of St. Athanasius the Apostolic, the 20th Pope of Alexandria, the defender of the Nicene Creed, and the man remembered as “Athanasius contra mundum” — Athanasius against the world.

Exiled five times, hunted across deserts and cities, betrayed by bishops, slandered before emperors — Athanasius endured it all to defend the truth that Christ is truly God. From the chaos of the Council of Nicaea to the stillness of exile where he wrote On the Incarnation and The Life of Anthony, his life became both a battlefield and a beacon.

His courage is not just history — it is a call for today. When the Church is pressured to be silent, when faith is mocked by culture and politics, Athanasius reminds us: truth does not bow, and the saints do not break.

🎧 Put on your headphones and step into a world of betrayal, exile, and triumph — the cinematic life of one of the Church’s greatest defenders.
