Judith

The Book of Judith is about a Jewish widow who saves her people from an Assyrian invasion by seducing and beheading the enemy general, Holofernes. It is considered an apocryphal text by some and is included in the Bibles of Catholic and Orthodox traditions. The story highlights themes of courage, faith, and divine deliverance, as Judith uses her beauty, intelligence, and faith to defeat a powerful military force that had surrounded her city, Bethulia
