The purpose of this study was to bring to light the source of faith of Agikuyu Christians who were martyred during the Mau Mau period (1952-1960). The researcher attempted to find out why those Christians were not afraid to die when their faith was put to test. The study also sought to discover the social, political and religious background of the persecutions and to establish the relevance of such faith in Christianity today.
