St. Agape Novena Prayers

Saint Agape of Thessalonica stands as a powerful symbol of unwavering faith and courage, having sacrificed her life for her Christian beliefs during the persecution of the early Church.

About St. Agape

Saint Agape of Thessalonica, also known as Acapis, was a 3rd-century Christian martyr from Thessalonica, Macedonia. She was the sister of Saints Chionia and Irene, and all three shared a deep commitment to their faith. During Emperor Diocletian’s reign, a decree in 303 prohibited the possession of Scriptures and the practice of Christianity. Despite this, Agape continued to study the Scriptures secretly.

When discovered, she was ordered to renounce her faith and sacrifice to pagan gods, but she steadfastly refused, choosing to worship the one true God. This defiance led to her martyrdom in 304, where she was burned alive, remaining faithful to the end.

Agape’s feast days are celebrated on various dates across different Christian calendars. Though not officially canonized by the Catholic Church, she is recognized as a saint and martyr. Her story embodies the courage of early Christians and serves as an inspiration for believers facing persecution.
