Apollónia virgo Alexandrína, sub Décio imperatóre, cum ingravescénte jam ætáte ad idóla
|
|
sisterétur, ut eis veneratiónem adhibéret; illis contémptis, Jesum Christum verum Deum
|
|
coléndum esse prædicábat. Quam ob rem omnes ei contúsi sunt et evúlsi dentes; ac, nisi
|
|
Christum detestáta deos cóleret, accénso rogo combustúros vivam mináti sunt ímpii carnífices.
|
|
Quibus illa, se quamvis mortem pro Jesu Christi fide subitúram, respóndit. Itaque
|
|
comprehénsa ut comburerétur, cum paulísper, quasi delíberans quid agéndum esset, stetísset,
|
|
ex illórum mánibus elápsa, álacris in ignem sibi parátum, majóri Spíritus Sancti flamma
|
|
intus accénsa, se injécit. Unde brevi, consúmpto córpore, puríssimus spíritus in cælum ad
|
|
sempitérnam martyrii corónam evolávit.

Apollonia was an aged virgin of Alexandria, who, in the reign of the Emperor Decius, was
|
|
brought before the idols to worship them, but refused, declaring that Christ Jesus is True
|
|
God, and that to Him worship is due. The cruel executioners beat and pulled out all her
|
|
teeth, and threatened to burn her alive if she would not deny Christ. To whom she answered,
|
|
that for Christ Jesus' sake she was ready to die. Being taken to the place of execution she
|
|
stood for a few moments as if in doubt, and then, the fire of the Holy Ghost burning up in
|
|
her heart, she broke from those that held her, and leapt of her own accord into the flames.
|
|
Her body was quickly consumed, and her soul departed pure to obtain the eternal crown of
|
|
martyrdom.
