EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of the stoning of Saint Stephen, a significant event in Christian history. The martyrdom of Saint Stephen took place in Jerusalem, as described in Acts 7:60. This particular image is an illumination from a 9th-century copy of the Topographia Christiana by Cosmas Indicopleustes, who lived during the 6th century. The scene depicted showcases the cruelty and darkness that prevailed during the medieval era. A group of men, possibly North African or Egyptian, are seen carrying out this brutal punishment on Saint Stephen for his unwavering faith. Despite facing imminent death, Saint Stephen's devotion to God remains steadfast. The illuminated manuscript adds a touch of grandeur to this somber moment. A halo surrounds Saint Stephen's head, symbolizing his saintly status and divine connection. His outstretched hand seems to reach towards heaven as he faces his ultimate sacrifice with courage and grace. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christians and their unwavering commitment to their beliefs even in times of persecution. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, martyrdom, and human cruelty while shedding light on historical events that shaped Christianity.
