Saint Agnes of Rome

The virgin martyr Saint Agnes of Rome lived from around  291 to 304 AD, during a time of great Christian persecution in the Roman empire. At the age of only 12 or 13, after spurning the advances of a powerful city official's son, she was exposed as a Christian, and subjected to many tortures and humiliations before suffering a martyr's death. In this episode we explore the impact that her courage had on later Christians, by reading writings about her from Saint Ambrose of Milan and Hrosvitha of Gandersheim.The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
