Descripción:
ACCORDING TO POPULAR TRADITION, the Sicilian virgin martyr, Agatha, died in Catania at the height of the Decian persecutions (250-53). Desired by Quintianus, the low-born Roman consul, she spurned his advances and was imprisoned in a brothel, where its keeper, the appropriately named Aphrodisia, was charged with the responsibility of shattering her sexual resolve. When the attempt at coercion failed, Agatha was summoned once again before Quintianus, and after further interrogation, was subjected to a series of gruesome tortures-the most infamous being the severing of her breast. That night, while suffering in prison, Saint Peter appeared before her, and, in a miraculous act of intervention, healed her wounds and restored her breast. The following day, humiliated and enraged, Quintianus inflicted further pains upon her, and having borne her suffering with exemplary courage and steadfast devotion, she eventually yielded up her soul.

Agatha’s fame spread far and wide, but is most notable in relation to a second Sicilian saint, Lucy of Syracuse, who, inspired by her example, prayed at her tomb and received a cure for her mother’s illness. Taking advantage of the situation, Lucy persuaded her mother to disburse her fortune amongst the poor, but was denounced by her fiancé to the Roman consul, Paschasius, who tried her for being a Christian. Confronted by threats and intimidation, Lucy refused to renounce her faith and was condemned to suffer the ignominy of prostitution. Paschasius, employing various stratagems, attempted to have her moved, but found in each instance that she had been made immobile. In desperation, he had her basted and burned, but was forced eventually to have her put to the sword. Her martyrdom, which is believed to have taken place during the Diocletian persecution of 302, is commonly celebrated on 13 December, several weeks in advance of Agatha’s feast, which fall on 5 February.
