Product Description

THREE HOLY YOUTHS IN THE FURNACE, ANANIAS, AZARIAS, MISAEL AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD 9431 The Three Holy Youths (Ananias, Azarias, and Misael) lived at first in Israel, but were taken with many of the Israelites into captivity into Babylon in 587 under King Nebuchadnessar. The Three Holy Youths refused the King’s wishes in worshipping his idol, and therefore were set into a red-hot burning furnace. When they entered with prayer to God, Christ in the form of an angel appeared to them in the flames and made them cool. These Three Holy Youths lived to die as martyrs in old age under Chambyses.
