EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the tragic story of Saint Euphemia, a Christian martyr who died circa 307 in Chalcedon (modern-day Kadikoy, Turkey). Known for her unwavering faith and reluctance to abandon her beliefs, Saint Euphemia's refusal to renounce Christianity led to her brutal death at the hands of a bear. According to historical accounts, Saint Euphemia was mauled and bitten by a ferocious bear as punishment for her steadfast devotion to Christ. Despite facing unimaginable pain and suffering, she remained resolute in her faith until the very end. Saint Euphemia's story serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christians in defense of their beliefs. Her courage and determination continue to inspire believers around the world today. This print is not just a depiction of history; it is a testament to the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity. It serves as a symbol of hope and resilience for all who encounter it, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength through our beliefs. May Saint Euphemia's legacy live on through this image, serving as a beacon of light for all who seek solace and inspiration in times of trial.
