Saint Agnes of Rome was a virgin who was martyred for her steadfast commitment to God. She is honored as the patron saint of Chastity, Gardeners, Girls, Engaged Couples, Rape Victims, Girl Scouts, Purity of Soul, and Virgins, and her memorial feast day is celebrated on January 21st. Despite offers of extensive wealth and marriage from Roman suitors, Agnes remained true to her vow of chastity and declared that God was her ultimate spouse. In a public display of her devotion, the governor ordered her to disrobe and walk through the streets, but an angel appeared and clothed her, shielding her from humiliation.
