St. Agnes - Banner BAN731
Artwork by the Benedictine Sisters of
Turvey Abbey.
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 in this image, 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).
