Sometimes, she even managed to free them, until the day when, recognized in her turn as a Christian, she consummated her charity through martyrdom. Deprived of food during two months of confinement, she was taken on a ship, with another Christian and one hundred and thirty pagans condemned for common crimes. Abandoned in the open sea, the boat, although pierced on all sides, did not sink and ran aground on the island of Palmaria, where there were other exiled Christians. Learning of this, the prefect had them all arrested and ordered them to be beheaded. The central medallion (Saint John) is entirely hand painted with exceptional miniature finesse.
