EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases the revered figures of Agnes and Catherine, two remarkable women who became martyrs for their unwavering faith. Agnes, known as the patron saint of virgins, is depicted with her emblematic lamb by her side, symbolizing purity and innocence. Her serene expression reflects her steadfast devotion to Christ even in the face of persecution. Beside Agnes stands Catherine of Alexandria, distinguished by a coronet that signifies her royal descent. Holding a sword and spiked wheel - instruments of her martyrdom - she exudes strength and courage. Despite Emperor Maximus' ruthless act of putting Catherine to death, she remains an enduring symbol of resilience and determination. The ring prominently displayed in this print serves as a testament to the worthiness of these virgin-martyrs as brides of Christ. It represents their spiritual union with Him and their eternal commitment to living virtuous lives. Attributed to Margaret van Eyck from the 15th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of these extraordinary women's stories within Christian history. Their selflessness and sacrifice continue to inspire believers around the world. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into religious iconography while honoring these influential saints who have left an indelible mark on Christianity.
