St Agnes in Prison Receiving from Heaven the ‘Shining White Garment’ (1905) by Frank Cadogan Cowper

A bit more detail for those interested:

St. Agnes was a young Roman girl known for her deep Christian faith and wisdom beyond her years. When she was thirteen, the son of a Roman prefect sought her hand in marriage, offering wealth and luxury. However, she refused, declaring that she was already devoted to Christ. Enraged by her rejection, the young man fell into despair, and his father, upon learning the reason, had Agnes brought before the authorities. When she refused to renounce her faith, she was sentenced to be exposed in a brothel. However, divine intervention protected her. Her hair miraculously grew to cover her body, and an angel surrounded her with a radiant light, preventing anyone from approaching her. The prefect’s son, attempting to force himself upon her, was struck dead by an evil force, only to be resurrected by Agnes’s prayers, leading him to proclaim the power of the Christian God.

Despite this miracle, the authorities saw her as a threat and condemned her to death. She was thrown into flames, but the fire did not harm her. Ultimately, she was executed by the sword. Her martyrdom inspired many, including her friend Emerentiana, who was later killed while mourning at Agnes’s tomb. St. Agnes appeared in a vision to her grieving parents, assuring them of her joy in heaven. Her legacy endured through miracles, such as healing Constantine’s daughter of leprosy and an image of her in a church receiving a ring from a priest, symbolizing her eternal devotion to Christ.

"Not that I don't appreciate the robe, but maybe rescue me from life as a sex slave?"

This week, on "men who can't take rejection very well, throw a feet-stomping temper tantrum and ruin a girl's life" … Damn I'm glad I'm not a man. I'd be embarrassed for my gender like 120 times a day.

the fact that whenever women/girls get tortured their clothes are the first thing to go 🙁

Thank You Lord 🙏🙌

Notice that God didn’t intervene and let her be sold out to multiple men. But hey, thanks for the robe I guess

bro my name is AGNES!!!!!!!!!!

Я теперь понимаю почему царица Екатерина платила золотом за эти шедевры. Столько мягкости.в лице девушки обречённой на страдания.

Not been forgotten, only betrayed

The name "Agnes" actually means pure and holy. Derived from the Greek "Agni", and you will hear the word used in hymns like "Agni, Parthene Despoina" ("Oh Pure Virgin"). Saint Agnes popularised the name in Rome, I believe. And she is the patron saint of many things, one being sexual assault victims.

BS this never happened. Angels are not real

God protected her from the flames but the sword was too much. I guess the swordmsan was to high level for him or something of the likes

I'm sorry I'm not a believer. This is not for me.

this is why God is so good! ❤

That’s hairy Mary. It was said that she was a prostitute. Right now, their clothing her. She don’t wanna be clothed because clothes usually kills these demons.

Wow, gee, thanks! I just thougt for a moment that all this marry young women-thing without consent that is actually part of our religion was a little sign that the greatest actually didn't think about our fate that much. "Thank he", for that white dress that makes me remember his love and compassion. Even if it looks suspiciously too similar to a wedding dress. I guess I'll at least rest form my un-deserved suffering when I die. Sorry for my english, angel. I don't even know where am I from

God's love covers and protects ❤
How sweet his love is!
For the God who created humans, a human body is not shameful thing, it is to protect us women from evils like this

🎉❤عالییییییی .حس عجیبی دارم وقتی اینجورنقاشی هارومیبینم.وای واقعا عالییییی👌👌👌💋❤️

See when God when you get rejected that means you not forgotten that means you love God

Aw

I like that artists made such hopefull godly twists to otherwise horrible stories like "but dont threat! God is good! She is safe now!" Like awwww.

Men: we need more religious women
Religious women: I want to dedicate myself to god
Men: no!

Men did this

Emerentiana was said to be one of Agnes's closest friends, her mother was Agnes's wetnurse and nanny. Still early in her learnings of Christianity, she was mourning at Agnes's tomb when she was attacked and stoned to death.
