The Virgin Martyr

About the show

In Diocletian’s Rome, Christian Dorothea is arrested by the persecutor Theophilus, whose aide Harpax is a devil in disguise. Dorothea’s faith converts Theophilus’s daughters, but he kills them and Dorothea is executed; an angel’s gift of heavenly fruit later converts Theophilus, who is himself tortured and dies in a state of bliss.
