St. Agnes was a believer living in Rome at the end of the third century. The governor's son wanted to marry her, but she felt called to a different life.
When she refused to marry him, pledging herself to Christ and taking a vow of virginity, he demanded that she be dragged naked through the streets to a brothel. Tradition holds that, as she was being dragged through the streets, her hair grew miraculously to cover her nakedness, and an angel prevented her tormentors from bringing her into the brothel.
However, though she was spared the disgrace of the brothel, she was later beheaded.

St. Agnes of Rome remains known for her purity and her unwavering commitment to her faith, even in the face of persecution. She is often depicted in art as a young woman with a lamb, symbolizing her innocence and purity.

She is the patron saint of young women, chastity, rape victims, and engaged couples. Her feast day is celebrated on January 21st.
