Name this Saint. Please

[Timidity]

I’m trying to find the name of a saint. I’ve tried Google, but apparently my search terms aren’t good enough.

I saw a bit on her on TV (probably EWTN) a while ago.

Anyway… the pertinent facts:

• Female
• Virgin
• Rome
• Refused to marry
• Sentenced to work in a brothel
• Martyr

Thanks for your assistance.

I think that was St. Agnes.

It may also be St. Lucy. Check her out.

Thanks!

I read up on both Saints, and of the two, it seems that St. Agnes of Rome is the right one. The age at martyrdom (13-ish) and city (Rome) seem to match.

So thanks to you both!
