EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the underground chapel in the Amphitheatre of Carthage, where Saints Perpetua and Felicity were martyred on March 7, 203. Alongside them were Saints Revocatus, Saturus, and Saturninus, exposed to the teeth of wild beasts. The image is a haunting reminder of the persecution faced by early Christians in ancient times.
The intricate details of the chapel's architecture are highlighted in this photograph, showcasing the history and significance of this sacred site. The solemn atmosphere is palpable as one imagines the bravery and faith exhibited by these martyrs in the face of such brutal circumstances.
Carthage, once a thriving city founded by Phoenicians, now stands as a testament to its rich archaeological heritage. This image serves as a window into a time long past, when religious beliefs clashed with political power.
As we gaze upon this scene from centuries ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made for faith and conviction. The legacy of these saints lives on through their story immortalized in this photograph.
