As we move toward an understanding of the transition from martyrdom to the veneration of martyrs we can do so through an understanding of the iconography of the martyr-hero in terms of feast, image, heroa, and dome. Here the feast in the fresco in the catacomb of Pietro e Marcellino is of the ultimate martyr-hero, that of Christ as celebrated in what is customarily identified as a Eucharistic scene.
