The virgin martyr Saint Agnes of Rome lived from around 291 to 304 AD, during a time of great Christian persecution in the Roman empire. At the age of only 12 or 13, after spurning the advances of a powerful city official's son, she was exposed as a Christian, and subjected to many tortures and humiliations before suffering a martyr's death. In this episode we explore the impact that her courage had on later Christians, by reading writings about her from Saint Ambrose of Milan and Hrosvitha of Gandersheim.
