Saint Thecla, tamer of beasts, defier of men, guide every woman with your strength and courage. Help us to stand up for each other and unite as sisters made in the image and majesty of God. Amen.

A half-length depiction of a woman standing before a pale gold cross in the background, wearing a long beige drape over a white head covering and a sleeveless rust-colored blouse or shift. The viewer sees her from the side as she faces the left edge of the artwork. She raises her hands to clasp them at her chest. Her left forearm presses to her chest a martyr's palm that extends up over her left shoulder. Her one visible eye is closed, or nearly closed.
