Story & Symbolism: 

St. Agatha, also known as Agatha of Sicily, is one of the most venerated virgin martyrs of the Catholic Church. It is assumed that she was born to a wealthy and noble family around 231 in either Catania or Palermo, Sicily.

Miracle: It is believed that during the night Saint Peter appeared in her cell, and healed her wounds. Quintianus now had a horrible hatred of Agatha and ordered that she be burned on a bed of coals. While she lay burning on the coals her red veil stayed miraculously intact.
