The Holy Martyr Agnia, a 3rd century Roman Christian, dedicated herself to God from a young age. Refusing to marry Symphronium's wealthy chief, the ruler became incensed and attempted to shame Agnia by sending her to a den of harlots. God mercifully intervened, however, endowing her with thick hair and an otherworldly light that blinded anyone who approached. The ruler's son fell dead when he touched her, but she brought him back to life with her fervent prayer. Her miraculous resurrection caused 160 pagans to embrace Christianity, drawing the scorn of their pagan priests. Despite torture in a fiery trial, Agnia endured, remaining in prayer as her throat was pierced by a sword. She was laid to rest by her parents near Rome and her remains now rest in the Catacombs of St. Agnes in Rome along Via Nomentana. Miracles have been reported at her grave to this day.
