NEW HAND CARVED WOOD CATHOLIC PATRON SAINT AGNES OF ROME STATUE SCULPTURE FIGURE Polychrome finish, painted and 24 carat gold plated by hand. Reflecting personally on the saint: Saint Agnes of Rome is one of the most celebrated virgin martyrs of the early Christian Church, revered for her purity and faithfulness in the face of persecution. Born around 291 AD, she died as a young teenager, around 304 AD, during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, who was notorious for his harsh persecution of Christians. According to tradition, Agnes was a member of the Roman nobility and was raised in a Christian family. From a young age, she dedicated herself to God and took a vow of chastity. Her beauty attracted many suitors, but she refused all marriage proposals, claiming that she had consecrated herself to Christ. Her suitors, rebuffed and angered by her vows to God, reported her to the authorities as a Christian. During her trial, she remained firm in her faith, despite being subjected to various forms of torture and humiliation, including attempts to force her into a brothel. Miracles reported during her ordeal include her hair growing instantly to cover her entire body and all attempts to execute her by burning or other means failing miraculously. Agnes was eventually martyred by the sword. The exact details of her death vary, but all accounts agree on her steadfastness and purity. She was buried along the Via Nomentana where a basilica was later erected over her tomb. Saint Agnes is often depicted in art with a lamb, symbolizing her purity and her name's similarity to the Latin word for lamb, "agnus." She is venerated as a patron saint of young girls, chastity, rape survivors, and gardeners. Her feast day is celebrated on January 21st. Her story has resonated through the centuries as an example of youthful piety and devotion to faith above earthly desires.
