This way of thinking is as old as the Church.<br /><br />It is St. Tertullian (155-240 A.D.) that in his "Apologeticus" writes that "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church". It is surely true in the case of both St Sunniva, St Olav and St Hallvard.

I like your connection with Christ parable of the sower of seeds to St. Olav's martyrdom. Did I translate that properly?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811324484195197572noreply@blogger.com
