St. Agatha of Sicily – Virgin Martyr of Courage

This luminous digital print portrays St. Agatha of Sicily in a moment of miraculous healing after her brutal suffering in prison. Seated against a stone wall, Agatha rests with serenity as divine light radiates from her chest—symbolizing the spiritual restoration she received through the intercession of St. Peter, who is shown beside her in blessing. His gentle, authoritative presence reinforces God's triumph over pain and persecution.

Rich with detail, this portrait captures the sacred moment of peace amidst agony, offering a reminder of faith, healing, and victory through Christ.

St. Agatha of Sicily (c. 231–251 A.D.) was a young Christian virgin martyred during the Decian persecution. Refusing the advances of a Roman official, she was tortured, including the mutilation of her body, but remained steadfast in her faith. According to tradition, St. Peter appeared to her in prison and miraculously healed her wounds. She died shortly after, her soul victorious in Christ. She is one of the most venerated virgin martyrs in the Church.
