agnes

Agnes of Rome (c. 291 – c. 304) is a virgin martyr, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, the Anglican Communion, and Lutheranism. She is one of seven women who, along with the Blessed Virgin, are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass.
Agnes is depicted in art with a lamb, evoking her name which resembles the Latin word for "lamb", agnus
(the given name is Greek, from hagnē ἁγνή "chaste, pure").
She is also shown with a martyr's palm.
She is the patron saint of girls and chastity.
Agnes' feast day is 21 January.
