Christian Persecutions.
During the early years of the
Christian persecutions when people were given serious penances which were
considered to be almost impossible to complete, a custom arose whereby a
Christian could ask a condemned Christian to take on the sinners
guilt as part of the martyr's suffering and death. When the martyr accepted the
burthen the repentant sinner would bring a note signed by the martyr and this
note was presented to the bishop and he, on behalf of the condemned martyr
would release the sinner from the heavy penance. This was the origin of what
has become known as Indulgences or as these were originally known; letters of
Christian love.
