Saint Agnes — The Child Martyr Who Defied Rome
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
She was only twelve or thirteen years old.
Born into a wealthy Roman family, Agnes could have lived a life of privilege and influence. Instead, she refused every marriage proposal, declaring that she had already dedicated her life to Christ.
One rejected suitor reported her to the authorities.
At the time, Emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians was sweeping across the Roman Empire. Agnes was arrested, condemned, and ultimately executed for her faith.
Seventeen centuries later, Saint Agnes remains one of the most beloved martyrs of the early Church. Every January, a centuries-old Vatican tradition still honours her memory.
This is the story of courage, conviction, and a young girl who refused to surrender what she believed.
A Ministry of Mind production.
