The Martyrdom of St. Cecilia: A Drama is a play written by Albany James Christie and first published in 1870. The play tells the story of St. Cecilia, a Christian martyr who lived in Rome during the 3rd century AD. Cecilia is a talented musician who converts to Christianity and is eventually sentenced to death by the Roman authorities for refusing to renounce her faith.The play is divided into five acts and features a cast of characters that includes Cecilia's husband Valerian, her friend and fellow Christian Tiburtius, and the Roman prefect Almachius. The drama explores themes of faith, love, and sacrifice, as Cecilia confronts the challenges of living as a Christian in a society that is hostile to her beliefs.Christie's play is notable for its vivid descriptions of ancient Rome and its attention to historical detail. The author drew on a variety of sources, including the writings of early Christian authors and the works of classical historians, to create a realistic portrayal of life in ancient Rome.Overall, The Martyrdom of St. Cecilia is a compelling drama that offers insight into the lives of early Christians and the challenges they faced in a society that was often hostile to their beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
