St. Agatha MedalsSaint Agatha was born in Catania and is the Patron Saint of bellmakers, breast disease, fire prevention, and nurses.
Saint Agatha's feast day is February 5th. Prayer to Saint Agatha Dear Virgin and Martyr, whom the Church recalls in her liturgy, you heroically resisted the temptation of a degenerate ruler. Subjected to long and horrible tortures, you remained faithful to your heavenly Spouse. St. Peter, we are told, gave you some solace, and so you are invoked by nurses. Encourage them to see Christ in the sick and to render true service to them.Amen |
