Nazarius’ dad was a soldier in the Roman army, he did not believe in God; his mother had a very strong faith and even became a Saint, St. Perpetua. When Nazarius was 9 years old he was baptized because he loved God so much. He loved God so much that he travelled to lots of countries to tell people about God. Not everyone wanted to hear about God and sometimes he was not treated very well, but he didn’t let anything stop him and he kept travelling and preaching the Good News. Ten years after he started his missions, he met a boy named Celsus in France. Celsus’ mother asked Nazarius to baptize Celsus and to keep him as his disciple, so that he would learn more about God. From that day forward, Nazarius and Celsus travelled and preached the Gospel to many, many people and so many people became Christians through them. Wherever they travelled there were people that did not like them and they suffered many things because of their faith in God. Finally, they were again arrested in Milan and when they refused to offer a sacrifice to the false Gods, they were killed. When they heard that they were going to die because of their faith, they did not cry, they praised God! They were so happy that they were finally going to meet Jesus in heaven
