She also chose the cross, saying, “I was baptized as a Christian, and His Word told me, ‘Do not deny your faith.’ I will obey him. Shoot me. ” He was also shot by a Muslim who had recently killed his father and mother. Mary’s body fell to the ground.

So I will lay down my life for the Muslims who cut my father’s throat, cursed my mother, stabbed her and tried to kill me. My life will be a prayer for them. ”
