The altar dedicated to St. Agnes of Rome in the Sant’Agnese in Agone, a 17th-century Baroque church in Rome, located where the saint was martyred in the ancient Stadium of Domitian.

St. Lucy was martyred in Sicily. St. Agnes was killed in Rome around A.D. 304. As previously noted, while the Church would be free and legal within a decade, it’s sometimes darkest before the dawn.
