On June 11, 1963, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk named Thich Quang Duc set himself on fire in an act of self immolation to protest the oppression of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese's Roman Catholic government. I have never been one of much faith, but this act of peaceful protest to me is what Christ on the Cross is to Christians.
