Massa Candida

Massa Candida (walifariki 253-260) ni jina la kundi la Wakristo 300 hivi wa karne ya 3 waliofia dini yao huko Utica kwa kuwa walikataa kutoa sadaka ya ubani kwa miungu ya Roma kama walivyoagizwa na gavana Galerius Maximus, mwakilishi wa serikali ya Dola la Roma.

Wakiwa waaminifu kwa askofu wao Kwadrato, walikabili kifodini kwa kumkiri pamoja Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Munguhttps://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/92896.

Jina linatokana na jinsi walivyouawa kwa kutupwa katika shimo la chokaa hai na hivyo kugeuka rundu la vumbi jeupe Among other torments, the governor ordering a limekiln to be lighted and live coals with incense to be set near by, said to these confessors of the Faith: "Choose whether you will offer incense to Jupiter or be thrown down into lime." And they, armed with faith, confessing Christ, the Son of God, with one swift impulse hurled themselves into the fire, where in the fumes of the burning lime, they were reduced to a powder. Hence this band of blessed ones in white raiment have been held worthy of the name, White Mass..

Sifa yao imedumishwa na maandishi ya Agostino wa Hippo na Prudentius.

Tangu kale wanaheshimiwa kama watakatifu wafiadini.
