"the God-bearing") or Ignatius Nurono (lit. "The fire-bearer"), was an early Christian writer & bishop of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. This correspondence now forms a central part of a later collection of works known to be authored by the Apostolic Fathers. He is considered to be one of the three most important of these, together with Clement of Rome & Polycarp. His letters also serve as an example of early Christian theology. Important topics they address include ecclesiology, the sacraments, & the role of bishops. The colors may slightly vary on your display. Note there is no hook at the backside.
