- PRAYER OF THE MARTYR -

Description by Mister 13

Aerosol pray on canvas. Saint Apollinia of Alexandria, consecrated virgin and deaconess. During an anti-Christian uprising in Alexandria, Egypt caused by a pagan prophecy, the mob seized Apollonia as a leader among the local Christians. After her teeth were broken with pincers, she was given the choice of renouncing Christ or being burned alive; she lept onto the fire herself.
