Martyrdom

  • Martyr
  • Martyrology

Description

Death or sacrifice under circumstances which allow supporters of the cause which the person represents to establish him or her as a powerful symbol of the rectitude of that cause. The symbol may then become a key factor in mobilizing further support for that cause. The death or sacrifice may be metaphorical rather than physical, as when the person loses status, position or wealth.
