St. Ursula | Virgin Princess & Martyr with Her Companions

This stunning digital portrait of St. Ursula, a legendary Christian princess and martyr, captures her youthful grace and royal dignity.

Behind her, ships sail under a crimson cross flag, symbolizing the voyage that led to her martyrdom. A luminous golden halo radiates her sanctity, while the image’s rich iconographic frame anchors her in sacred tradition and heroic legend.

Short Biography
St. Ursula is believed to have been a 4th-century British or Breton princess who, with a group of 11 or possibly 11,000 virgin companions, made a pilgrimage across Europe. En route to Rome, they were captured and martyred by pagan Huns near Cologne for refusing to renounce their purity and faith. Though parts of her story are shrouded in legend, devotion to St. Ursula flourished during the Middle Ages, and she became a beloved patron of youth, educators, and female religious communities.
