"[Origen's] father suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Septimius Severus...Origen, who was still a young lad, wished to offer himself for martyrdom. But his mother hid his clothes and he was forced to remain at home..." The Story of Christianity (pg. 78), by Justo L. Gonzalez
He was willing to be martyred, but not willing to go out in public naked.
