Agnes of Rome is a virgin–martyr, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. She is one of seven women, who along with the Blessed Virgin, are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. She is the patron saint of chastity, gardeners, girls, engaged couples, rape survivors, virgins, and the Children of Mary. Agnes is depicted in art with a lamb, as the Latin word for "lamb", agnus, sounds like her name. The name "Agnes" is actually derived from the feminine Greek adjective hagnē (ἁγνή) meaning "chaste, pure, sacred". Agnes' feast day is 21 January.
According to tradition, Agnes was a member of the Roman nobility born in AD 291 and raised in a Christian family. She suffered martyrdom at the age of twelve or thirteen during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, on 21 January 304.
Agnes was a beautiful young girl of wealthy family and therefore had many suitors of high rank. Details of her story are unreliable, but legend holds that the young men, slighted by her resolute devotion to religious purity, submitted her name to the authorities as a follower of Christianity.
The Prefect Sempronius condemned Agnes to be dragged naked through the streets to a brothel. Various versions of the legend give different methods of escape from this predicament. In one, as she prayed, her hair grew and covered her body. It was also said that all of the men who attempted to rape her were immediately struck blind. In another the son of the prefect is struck dead, but revived after she prayed for him, causing her release. There is then a trial from which Sempronius excuses himself, and another figure presides, sentencing her to death. When led out to die she was tied to a stake, but the bundle of wood would not burn, or the flames parted away from her, whereupon the officer in charge of the troops drew his sword and beheaded her, or, in some other texts, stabbed her in the throat. It is also said that her blood poured to the stadium floor where other Christians soaked it up with cloths.
Agnes was buried beside the Via Nomentana in Rome. A few days after her death, her foster-sister, Saint Emerentiana, was found praying by her tomb; she claimed to be the daughter of Agnes' wet nurse, and was stoned to death after refusing to leave the place and reprimanding the pagans for killing her foster sister. Emerentiana was also later canonized. The daughter of Constantine I, Saint Constance, was also said to have been cured of leprosy after praying at Agnes' tomb. She and Emerentiana appear in the scenes from the life of Agnes on the 14th-century Royal Gold Cup in the British Museum.
Inés de Roma es una mártir-virgen, venerada como una santa en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Ella es una de las siete mujeres, que junto con la Virgen, se conmemoran por su nombre en el canon de la misa. Ella es la santa patróna de la castidad, jardineros, chicas, parejas comprometidas, las víctimas de violación, vírgenes, y las Hijas de María . Inés es representada en el arte con un cordero, como la palabra latina para "cordero", agnus, suena como su nombre. El nombre de "Inés" en realidad se deriva del adjetivo griego femenino hagnē (ἁγνή) que significa "casta, pura, sagrada". La fiesta de Inés es el 21 de enero.
Según la tradición, Inés era miembro de la nobleza romana nacida en el año 291 y se crió en una familia cristiana. Sufrió el martirio a la edad de doce o trece años durante el reinado del emperador romano Diocleciano, el 21 de enero 304.
