The Feast of St. Agnes was celebrated on Monday with great ceremony in Rome. St. Agnes was a young Roman girl who suffered martyrdom under Diocletian, and upon the place of her supposed death a church was built. There is an annual procession in her honour in Rome, when a lamb is led through the city, the connection of her name with the Latin for a lamb (agnus) having probably led to the association of this animal with her memory. The Pope is also presented with two lambs.

Condition is Very Good.
