Episode 02: Saint Agatha

November 7, 2022

An early Christian virgin martyr, Saint Agatha was tortured and tormented – but she answered these abuses with clever and righteous words which, it was said, tortured her captors hearts and minds more than the iron hooks, burning coals, and sharp blades from which Saint Agatha suffered.
