The Martyrdom of St. Cecilia: A Drama is a play written by Albany James Christie and first published in 1870. The play is based on the story of Saint Cecilia, a Christian martyr who lived in the 2nd century AD. The play is set in Rome and follows the story of Cecilia, a young woman who is forced to marry a pagan man against her will. Despite her husband's attempts to convert her to paganism, Cecilia remains steadfast in her faith and is ultimately martyred for her beliefs. The play explores themes of faith, love, and sacrifice, and is written in a poetic and dramatic style. It has been praised for its vivid characterization and powerful emotional impact. Overall, The Martyrdom of St. Cecilia is a compelling work of historical drama that offers a unique perspective on the life and death of one of Christianity's most revered saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
