Lot 1174 | A VERY RARE ICON SHOWING THE BEHEADING OF THE TEN MARTYRS OF CRETE
Crete, Viktor (circle), late 17th century
Tempera on wood panel. The image finely executed in great detail on a gold ground. 23.3 x 17.6 cm.
The Ten Holy Martyrs of Crete - Theodulus, Saturninus, Euporus, Gelasius, Eunician, Zoticus, Pompius, Agathopus, Basilides and Evaristus suffered for Christ during the third century under the emperor Decius (249-251). The governor of Crete, also named Decius, fiercely persecuted the Church, and arrested anyone who believed in Christ. Once, ten Christians were brought before him from various cities of Crete, who at the trial steadfastly confessed their faith in Christ and refused to worship idols. For thirty days they were subjected to cruel tortures, and with the help of God they all persevered, glorifying God. Before their death they prayed that the Lord would enlighten their torturers with the light of the true Faith. Since pain did not influence them, the saints were beheaded.
