St. Agnes - Lectern Frontal LF731
Artwork by The Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey.
Agnes
of Rome, Martyr.
Feast Day: 21st January.
A Roman who lived circa. 305, she was twelve or thirteen when she was
martyred for refusing to marry a pagan. From the earliest centuries she was
held in high honour by the Church for her heroism in defence of her faith.
Often portrayed, as she is in this image, holding a lamb as a symbol for
purity. It is also a play on her name as the Latin for lamb is 'agnus'.
On her feast day in Rome two lambs are blest
and their wool is used to make the palliums, a circular band approx. 2 "
wide worn around the neck, given by the Pope to archbishops as a sign of
their authority (from the Latin palla meaning cloak or mantle).
