Saint Agnes Magnets

Description: St. Agnes (purity) is one of seven women in the canon of the Mass with Cecilia, Felicity (happiness), Perpetua (steadfastness), Agatha (goodness), Lucy (light), and Anastasia (resurrection). The canon thereby represents various vocations and three important centers of Western Christianity: Carthage, Sicily and Rome. No saint was more revered in the early Church than this young girl who suffered persecution under the Emperor Diocletian and who, according to her 5th-century acta, was only 13-years-old when she died. The name Agnes in Greek means ‘chaste’ and in Latin signifies a ‘lamb’ (Saint Augustine, Sermon 274). Thus, she represents all that is pure and virtuous in womanhood.
