Today is the feast day of St. Ignatius of Antioch who lived in the first century. He was born in the year 50 and was a disciple of John, the apostle. He was ordained a bishop by our first pope, St. Peter, in the year 69. And he died a martyr in about the year 110, being fed to the lions in the coliseum.
