St Agnes

Agnes loved Jesus so much that she chose to live her life only for him. She was very beautiful and lots of boys wanted to marry her, but Agnes had given her heart to Jesus, so she would always tell the boys, "Jesus is my only husband." She even told the Governor's son that she could not marry him and this made him very angry. So he told the Governor that Agnes was Christian, and that was against the law in Rome, so she was brought to the Governor. She was taken to a Roman temple and told to pray to false gods. When they took Agnes to the altar, she made the Sign of the Cross instead of praying to the false gods. She was killed because she would not turn away from Jesus; she was only 12 years old. Many people wrote about how brave St. Agnes was and they even built a big Church to remind people of how much she loved Jesus.
