The Daughters of Pola by John Mason Neale
The Daughters of Pola
By John Mason Neale
Agnella, daughter of a noble Roman family, had heard stories about the practices of the Christians. Did they really drink blood from silver vessels? Did they venerate a condemned man? Was it true the visage of their god had the head of a donkey? What decent person would include themselves in such rites? And yet, having taken part in the rites of her own goddess, Agnella knew well some of the shameful behaviors promoted by her own gods. Within these pages, discover the story of this young woman and how the actions of her father would set her on the path of becoming a seed for the early Christian Church. Drawing on history, but written as a novella, told as a series of letters between the characters, you'll get an idea of how early Christianity grew from the blood of martyrs.
