Me too. I was gang raped when I was seventeen and raped and sodomised with a knife and the story of Saint agnes always has an inspiring impact on me. I am still coming to terms with what happened to me twelve years later but I'm slowly healing. The worst part for me is that the wounds I suffered internally have left me unable to have kids
Hi Kerrie, I’ve been meaning to respond to your comment and I wasn’t sure exactly what to say. But, I want to just thank you for sharing and for being open about your experience. I pray that your story will continue to bring hope of healing and inspire women that have suffered the same. God bless you.

I am proud to called Agnes. The sisters prayed for my mother for the intercession of all the saints around her due date so the day you come out is your patron saint!
there is no death, she went back home to be with Our Father in Heavens. That was her mission on this Earth and it was fulfilled. She is very happy now.
The main account I read was the Golden Legend written in the 1200s I think, so nearly 900 years later, so not exactly a contemporary account. She was killed under the Emperor Diocletian, one of the first written reference to her is also in the 300s by Saint Ambrose who writes she was 12, seems to say she was small, she was executed in front of a crowd and there's a hint of some kind of marital rejection. The site of her supposed execution is a church now in Piaza Navona, under the ground you can see ancient remains built in her honour but its closed to the public after flooding in 1893, they are trying to raise money to restore and reopen it. I don't know where that part comes from though. You are better off visiting her catacombs and the church built above it, the guide was really good. There's also a slab from the 300s I think of her and a stone carving of her there, probably the earliest known image of her, I don't know the date but it looked Roman. For a historian contemporary accounts and items are key when deciding if a text is true or not. The existence of Perpetua and Felicity is not disputed by historians because of the contemporary account. For a legendary figure though like King Arthur it's more doubtful because the first mention of him comes in texts from the 800s to 1100s so a long time after he is meant to have lived.
Let me get this straught we as Christians believe that 3 men were being burned and lived St John was boiled and lived but Jesus wouldnt save a martyr who swore her life to purity? Look if you dont believe it I cant blame you, but lets not say it sounds like mythology in actuality it sounds like a conglomeration of Bible stories

@@joelancon7231 in the accounts of the saints the official usually dreams up some cruel and elaborate form of execution which doesn't work, so in the end they just die by the sword.
Some of what we know actually is probably factual. Died on 21 January around 304 or 305, stabbed in the neck, buried on Via Nomentana, her tomb became a place of pilgrimage not just for her family members but other Christians, she was 12 or 13 at most, a 4th century church was built over her tomb and a 4th century slab image of her was rediscovered in 1885. Her bones were found in the 1600s still under the altar when they were placed in a silver casket and kept there until 1901 when this casket was rediscovered.
