St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr T-Shirt
St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr, from an engraving by Theodor Matham (1615-1675) displayed at Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. The Latin S. Agathæ Virginis et Martyris O.P.N. is translated as Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us.
The youthful Agatha being very beautiful, rich, and of a noble house in the town of Catania, the pagan governor. Quintin, became enamored of her, and wished to marry her. But Agatha had already secretly espoused herself to Jesus Christ, and repulsed the governor’s addresses. Enraged at this, Quintin, on pretext of her being a Christian, delivered the tender virgin to the torturers. She was forthwith scourged, torn with iron hooks, and her breasts and sides lacerated and scorched with fiery metal. After all these torments being cast into a dungeon, Saint Peter the Apostle appeared to her and healed her wounds. She was brought before Quintin a second time, but remained inflexibly constant to her faith and sacred vow. Saint Agatha was then ordered to be dragged over burning coals and afterwards over potsherds. An earthquake took place at the time of this second torture, and Quintin fled from the town in terror. Saint Agatha died in prison the next night, A.D. 251.
