Excerpt from The White Shield

The opposition was intense. Christianity was abhorred by many as a system, to use the words of Pliny, destructive of that reasonable and obe dient course of life which becomes the philosophic mind and the loyal citizen. Saints and martyrs multiplied under persecution. But Thekla of Ico nium is counted the female proto-martyr of the Asian church, and the most illustrious sufferer despite her deliverance. She is worshiped to this day in the Greek communion as the pattern of purest and highest sainthood.
