History
Rufus and Zosimus were two of the earliest Christians, and they loved to tell people about Jesus. They
lived in either Antioch or Philippi (nobody knows for sure) and were with Saint Ignatius when all three
were arrested for being Christians. Rufus and Zosimus were taken to the
Coliseum first, where they were thrown to hungry wild beasts and killed.
Activity
In most of the world today,
Christianity is legal, so we don’t have to worry about being arrested and fed
to wild animals. It’s exactly opposite of what things were like when Rufus and
Zosimus were alive. So instead of being eaten by wild beasts, get yourself some
animal crackers so you can eat the lions and tigers.
