By order of the emperor they gave the martyress over to a house of ill repute for defiling, but the Lord preserved her there also: anyone who tried to touch the saint lost their sight.

There again that insistence on preserving the virginity of female martyrs, when the truth was far more likely to have been a scene out of Damian.

In the future, I will publish pictures of the Holy martyrs with information about them . This will be linked to their memory dates. I think there is no point in opening a new topic. I will publish here.

I have a large collection of paintings of martyrs. For a long time I have been studying the themes of ecstasy, martyrdom, and Sacred Eros. If the forum participants have any questions , I will try to answer them. You can do this in a personal message.
