EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the High Altar in Tarragona Cathedral, Catalonia, Spain. The artwork, created by Johan Pere in the 15th century, depicts "The Martyrdom of St Thecla" with exquisite alabaster relief. In this particular scene, we witness the intense moment of St Thecla's martyrdom. Bound and tied up, she remains steadfast in her faith as a soldier stands nearby wearing his armor. Despite her vulnerable state, she finds solace in prayer while embodying strength and resilience. St Thecla is known as the patron saint of Tarragona and her story epitomizes unwavering devotion to one's beliefs. Her nakedness symbolizes purity and vulnerability before God as she faces persecution for her faith. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight the artist's skillful craftsmanship and attention to realism. Every fold of chainmail on the soldier's armor is meticulously carved into stone while St Thecla's expression conveys both pain and serenity. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of the power that art holds to tell stories from centuries past. It invites us to reflect on our own convictions and reminds us that even amidst adversity, there is strength to be found through prayer and unwavering belief.
