Agnes of Rome, Martyr. Feast Day 21st January.

A Roman who lived circa. 305, she was twelve or thirteen when she was martyred for refusing to marry a pagan. From the earliest centuries she was held in high honour by the Church for her heroism in defence of her faith. Often portrayed, as she is here, holding a lamb as a symbol for purity. It is also a play on her name as the Latin for lamb is 'agnus'.

On her feast day in Rome two lambs are blest and their wool is used to make the palliums, a circular band approx. 2 " wide worn around the neck,  given by the Pope to archbishops as a sign of their authority (from the Latin palla meaning cloak or mantle).

Artwork by the Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey.
