"The First Christian Century: A Time of Faith, Persecution, and Transformation" In the first Christian century, the world witnessed a profound shift in religious beliefs and practices. It was during this time that St. Stephen, an early follower of Jesus Christ, became the first martyr for his faith. The stoning of St. Stephen in 36 AD marked a pivotal moment in history, symbolizing both the resilience and persecution faced by early Christians. Annibale Carracci's painting depicting this tragic event captures the intensity and emotion surrounding St. Stephen's sacrifice. Through his artistry, Carracci immortalizes this significant event that shaped Christianity forever. Meanwhile, other artistic masterpieces from different periods shed light on various aspects of life during this era. "San Girolamo, " sculpted around 1580 in marble, showcases the devotion and contemplation prevalent among Christians at that time. Bronze sculpture "Saint John the Evangelist" crafted between 1583-84 represents one of Jesus' closest disciples who played a crucial role in spreading Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. Amidst these religious themes emerge literary works like Wilkie Collins' "Moonstone. " Although unrelated to Christianity directly, it serves as a reminder that literature also flourished during this period with diverse genres captivating readers across cultures. The Battle of Ain depicted through an engraving from 1785 reminds us of historical events intertwined with religion. This battle signifies Joshua's conquests as he led God's chosen people into Canaan according to biblical accounts. Tapestries were another form of artistic expression during this era; they served not only decorative purposes but also conveyed stories or historical events visually. The tapestry titled "Return of Marius Aurelius" likely originating from Flanders or Tournai between 1450-1500 provides glimpses into medieval life while reflecting cultural influences on religious narratives. Returning to literature once more with Collins' novel "The Moonstone, " we see how this century inspired creativity across different mediums.
