Tortured for the love of Christ

For centuries the Ottoman Empire committed atrocities while swarming through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Central Europe and others. Greece was also one of the barbarians' targets. Turks shed the blood of the innocent throughout all of Greece without any hesitation. Men, women, elderly even children were submitted to the horrifying torments of the barbaric Ottoman armies. One of these children was Constantine Morphis later named Ephraim. His innocence and his love for Christ led him through the most difficult times but also to triumph.
