How CHRISTIANS Managed to SURVIVE Roman PERSECUTION

Hide the scriptures. Someone's coming. If they find the books, we all die tonight.The footsteps echo closer through the narrow Roman street. Inside the small house, hands move quickly in the lamplight. Scrolls disappear into hollowed compartments beneath the floor. A clay pot slides over the opening. Breathing slows. Voices lower to silence. The oil lamp flickers against mud-brick walls as shadows wait, motionless, listening for the knock that could mean arrest, torture, execution.
