Saint Agnes of Rome, born around 291 AD into a noble Christian family, became one of the most celebrated virgin martyrs of the early Church. At age 12 or 13, during the Diocletian persecution, she rejected marriage proposals from Roman suitors, including the prefect’s son, declaring her devotion to Christ alone. This defiance led to her arrest, and when she refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, she faced public humiliation and execution. Miraculously, her hair grew to cover her body when stripped, and attempts to burn her failed; she was ultimately beheaded or stabbed in the throat around 304 AD. Her steadfastness at such a young age made her a symbol of purity and courage, praised by contemporaries like Saint Ambrose and Saint Jerome. | Saint Agnes of Rome, born around 291 AD into a noble Christian family, became one of the most celebrated virgin martyrs of the early Church.
