The Hidden Christians
who continued
to practice
Christianity
in secret
with figures
of the Saints
which looked like
the traditional
statues
of the Buddha
to avoid
tortures
and executions
of innocent
people
succeed
in Time
to protect
their faith
from barbarity
and they became
for the next ones
Christian
martyrs
in the cult
of ancestors
so don’t
forget
them
now.
