The life of Archelaïs, Thekla and Susanna

Denounced and brought to Salerno, Archelais refused to sacrifice to the idols and rebuked the folly of worshipping lifeless statues; the lions loosed on her lay at her feet, and a stone meant to crush her fell instead on her torturers. The three were beheaded about 293.
