SAINT AGNES
Saint Agnes is one of the early
martyrs mentioned in the Canon
of the Mass. She was only 13
years of age when she was martyred
during the reign of
Diocletian about the year 304.
Because she was rich and very
beautiful Agnes had many
suitors. For all she had the
same answer: that she had
consecrated her virginity to a
heavenly spouse. For this she
was accused as a Christian and
condemned to death.
Saint Agnes is a most popular
Saint. Her relics are venerated
in Rome in the Basilica that
bears her name. She is a special
patroness of purity. Her Feast is
celebrated on January 21.
