St. Agnes: Virgin Martyr and Patron Saint of Chastity
Each year on January 21, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of St. Agnes, a young martyr who lived during the early 4th century. St. Agnes was only about 12 or 13 years old when she was martyred for her faith, yet her story has inspired the faithful for over 1,700 years. The story of her life and death, while surrounded by some uncertainty, remains a powerful testament to the courage, purity, and steadfastness in Christ.
