Summary/Abstract: A systematic look at the modern dimensions of Christian witness and martyrdom helps to systematize theological data on that subject as well as to notice its relevance, features and tasks to be performed. The contemporary Christian thought adopts the martyrdom theology which has been developing since the beginning of the Church and shows its aspects connected with the specificity of the current situation of faith. Special attention should be drawn to the fact that the Church preserves the memory of all the martyrs and takes into consideration the ecumenical importance of martyrdom.
