St. Apollonia
During the reign of Decius many Christians in in Egypt were killed for their Christian Faith. Among these was the aged virgin Apollonia. The authorities tried relentlessly to make her denounce her faith.They struck her on the jaws until all her teeth came out; then they made a great fire and threatened to throw her into it if she refused to blaspheme God.
Begging a moment’s delay, she, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, “of her own accord leaped into the flames”. Metras, an old man, had his eyes pierced with reeds and then was stoned to death. A woman, by the name of Quinta, was the next victim. She was led to a heathen temple and ordered to worship. After cursing the false god again and again, she was stoned to death. The homes of all the Christians were then sacked and plundered. They rejoiced at being able to suffer for Christ’s sake. A civil war among the pagan citizenry put an end to the fury for a while, but the edict of Decius, in 250, renewed the persecution, which filled the city with dread and terror. There were some who lacked the courage to remain steadfast; but many suffered willingly for their faith in Jesus.
May this St. Apollonia Medal forever commemorate the bravery and steadfast faith of Saint Apollonia.
