(TW btw, mentions of k*lling) "Isis, Apollo and Venus are nothing, Maximian himself is nothing; They are nothing, because they were made by hands, He, because he reveres the works of hands" The reason why Eulalia was martyred sounds like one of the stupidest plans ever, but it was for an insanely good cause. She stormed a Roman law court when she was 12-14 years old, smashing statues of the Roman gods that were contained inside. The adults in the temple didn't take her seriously, looking at her as an angry little child having a tantrum. It was until she professed herself a Christian who was a consecrated virgin that they took her seriously. She mocked the current emperor Maximian and challenged the authorities to martyr her. And sadly, that they did. Legend says that the moment she passed, a dove flew out of her mouth, which frightened the soldiers around her. Then, it started to snow, covering her body in the pristine crystals which represent her Sainthood and purity.
