Passion bearer
In the Russian Orthodox Christianity, a passion-bearer (Russian: strastoterpets, ŃтраŃтотерпец) is a person who faces his or her death in a Christ-like manner. Unlike martyrs, passion-bearers are not explicitly killed for their faith, though they hold to that faith with piety and true love of God.
