Sveti Tarzicije
The book Saint Tarsizio (1985) by Luca Laurand is a short hagiographic work intended for young people and believers, describing the life and martyrdom of Saint Tarsizio, an early Christian saint and patron of altar servers and the altar service.
The story is set in the early days of Christianity in Rome, when Christians were persecuted. The main character, the young Tarsicius, is given an important task – to secretly deliver Holy Communion (the Eucharist) to Christians in prison. Although he is aware of the danger, he accepts the task out of love for Christ. On the way, he is attacked by Roman youths who want to stop him and force him to deliver the Holy Eucharist. Tarsicius bravely refuses to betray his faith and prefers to die rather than desecrate Holy Communion. His death is depicted as a martyrdom out of love and loyalty to Christ.
