A touching story of a young martyr who defended the Eucharist with his life

When Tarcisius is entrusted with carrying the Body of Christ to imprisoned Christians, he faces a deadly challenge that will test his courage and faith to the ultimate limit.

As the young martyr walks the streets of Rome, his unwavering devotion to the Eucharist becomes a powerful symbol of love and sacrifice. In the face of persecution, Tarcisius chooses to defend the sacred, offering his life to protect what is most holy.
