martyrdom

On-Yomi: ジュン

Koohii stories:

1) [Johnnyltn] 14-8-2006(224): Think of the early Christian martyrs who suffered martyrdom because of their faith. See them held in cells for 10 days (a decameron) before being fed to the lions. They appear before the chanting Roman crowds as bones to be devoured. Think of what was leftover after the lions finished them off….nothing, not even a pile of bones to bury.

2) [ruisu] 14-11-2007(86): The boney man martyred himself during his 10 day hunger-strike.

3) [imojyochu] 23-8-2008(72): To commerate the saint's martyrdom his BONES will be displayed for a 10-DAY-PERIOD (decameron).

4) [yukkuri_kame] 21-6-2009(46): After being bound up for a day (see decameron (#67 旬)) there was nothing left of Heisig but BONES. He had attained MARTYRDOM for the sake of an obscure keyword…

5) [dingomick] 19-2-2007(19): Nice. If you know about the Canterbury Tales, you know they were pilgrims going to see a martyrs tomb. Just imagine that they're going to see the relics(bones) of that martyr on their decameron!
