The Kitchen Slave, Miriam

Miriam, a Christian slave in the kitchens of the wealthy Roman noble, Aemilianus, meets a crippled stable slave and transforms his life. They are married in the church of Viminacium and form a Christian family as they struggle to gain their freedom. The lives of Miriam and her husband, Lazarus, and their daughters Susannah and Joanna, are plunged into turmoil when Aemilianus is summoned to Nicomedia to serve as Consul of the Empire under Diocletian. The Augustus Diocletian, convinced of his own divinity and demanding to be venerated by his subjects, is determined to rid the empire of all Christian influences. Persecutions and proscriptions take place in every city of the empire. Many of the faithful are tortured and executed. It is a dark time for the growing Christian church. A time of danger and sacrifice. A time of martyrs and saints.
