Does anyone know what movie the images came from? The woman playing Perpetua (or so I think) at 0.49 is so beautyfull. God give the martyrs peace, like Peter said in Quo Vadis: Blessed are you my children, who die in the name of Jesus.
She was attacked by while animals, but survived. She was, after, killed with a gladiator's sword. It's written that when she exhorted the crowd, and her brother, to stand fast and firm in the faith, the gladiator was stunned and hesitated briefly. She then, took her hand and placed it upon his and held his hand as he killed her.
she wasnt suicidal.... the roman empire released a 'rapid heffer' on her and felicity, while her 3 male companions face a bear, a lion, and a cheetah (i think). In the end the animals killed none of them and gladiators cut their throats
I've never heard the suicide part. There are multiple ideas of how it ended. I really can't see a Christian killing herself like that.
Another story about her tells that with the wild beasts, they released boars *or bulls* which gored her in the thigh. In her conviction as a modest Christian woman, she then grabbed her skirts, which had torn, and covered herself.
In the end she was killed either by the beasts or the gladiators. Can't remember which.
God bless you.

Found it. For anyone who wishes to know, the images are from The last days of Pompeii

she did take the sword in her hands and point it at her own throat for him, but she didn't kill herself.
