Apollonia has been sentenced to be burned alive, and a pyre is created for her execution. As in other panels in this collection, there are fingers pointing at her in accusation. In this panel, she is tied to the pyre, bare breasted to ensure she suffers shame
since she is regarded as a chaste virgin. She gazes heavenward showing peace in the midst of her trial. The torturer on the right is dressed in te attire reminiscent of a fool, as he almost joyfully contributes to the injustice of the moment. An angel hovers above the prison window in the background, ministering to those imprisoned for their faith. This panel does not show Apollonia running into the fire of her own accord, as Dionysius accounts, but depicts her courage as a martyr in the face of death.
