Was originally used as a derogatory term for those who followed the teachings of Jesus. It means "Little Christ". It was insulting for a while, until they found out that's what they were.
They were maimed and martyred for their faith in God. And they say Christians never suffered...
A pretty cool religion, if you ask me.
I am a Christian. I believe in God, and that Jesus died on the cross to atone for MY sins, and I try to follow Jesus' example. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who persecute you.
