Charity Daughters Died Faith Hadrian Hadrianus Hope Martyred Peacefully Reign Sophia
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative and beautifully detailed print, Saint Sophia, the revered matriarch and mother of Faith, Hope, and Charity, is depicted in a tranquil moment of reflection. Circa 120 AD, during the tumultuous reign of Emperor Hadrian, Sophia's unwavering faith in the face of persecution became a beacon of hope and inspiration for countless Christians. Surrounded by the soft glow of golden light, Saint Sophia sits serenely, her hands folded in prayer, her eyes closed in quiet contemplation. Her halo, adorned with the stars of heaven, signifies her exalted status as a saint and her intimate connection to the divine. At her feet, three young maidens, Faith, Hope, and Charity, gaze up at their mother with reverence and love. These virtues, personified as daughters of Sophia, embody the essential qualities that sustained her through her trials and tribulations. Faith, represented by the cross, embodies unwavering belief in God; Hope, symbolized by the anchor, represents steadfastness and perseverance; and Charity, depicted as an open heart, represents selfless love and compassion. Despite the looming threat of persecution under Hadrian's rule, Sophia and her daughters remained steadfast in their faith. According to legend, they were eventually discovered and martyred for their beliefs. However, Sophia's peaceful demise is often depicted in art, as seen in this print, where she is shown dying peacefully, surrounded by the light of the divine. This hauntingly beautiful print serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith, hope, and charity in the face of adversity, and the enduring legacy of Saint Sophia and her daughters.
