Why do people make a big deal out of Saint Agnes? She is not that important so why all the rituals and mass about her? The 13 year old girl died because she is a christian and she was excuted for refusing to marry, not mean to be senseless but why waste time on that? It's sad she died an worngful death, her dicision should been repected but it's better to talk about two churchs bearing her name plus this artical should be short not long.
I for one, have always LOVED St. Agnes, & am glad there is a Wikipedia page for her(& for a great many other Saints for that matter). St. Agnes showed a tremendous amount of courage for a child her age, & am pleased that she is venerated by the Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican(Episcopalian), & Lutheran Churches right down to this very day(such a shame that most Protestant churches no longer venerate the Saints). She may not be all that important to you, but, she certainly is for me.-- Splashen ( talk) 01:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
i'd like to say that if i had made this article (i didn't) i would have made it because we share a name (Agnes). many woman named 'Agnes' are named after this saint or a nun named after her... just a thought 209.193.29.247 ( talk) 01:29, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
I am reverting the recent movement of this article from Saint Agnes to Saint Agnes of Rome for two reasons: (1) No explanation of the move was given in the discussion page as per Wikipedia article movement policy, (2) the move was not opened up for voting by Wikipedia editors and (3) Saint Agnes is known more by the title Saint Agnes not Saint Agnes of Rome (also this is the only major Saint Agnes in existence). -- Gerald Farinas 22:24, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Does honor mean hymen? Actually saying hymen would be much more NPOV. Dave 02:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
As far as my understanding goes, a person must perform miracles after death to be made a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. this article lists the miracle before St. Agnes' death, but does not mention much beyond that. And does anyone know when she was made a saint, and by whom? Just curious. Happy St Agnes Eve! Russia Moore 22:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The article says that St. Agnes was canonized in 1950. I don't see how this could possibly be correct, as she's been venerated for many, many centuries. Maybe someone's confused? 1950 was the year Maria Goretti was canonized. BLHersey ( talk) 01:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
The more I thought about this, the more I realized it has to be a mistake, so I'm just changing it myself. BLHersey ( talk) 02:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Is the note that says the carol Good King Wenceslas refers not to this Saint Agnes (where the king's page tells him "yonder peasant" lives "by Saint Agnes' fountain") but to Agnes of Bohemia, actually correct? If so it seems odd. According to the article for Agnes of Bohemia she lived 1211 - 1282, while the Good King Wenceslas article states he is thought to be based on Duke Wenceslas of Bohemia who lived 907 - 935. The Wenceslas article adds he is sometimes confused with King Wenceslas I - however even if the songwriter had this later figure in mind that is also odd as Agnes of Bohemia was his sister, so why would the king's page already be referring to a "saint Agnes'fountain"? Also the article on Agnes of Bohemia says she was not canonised until the 20th Century, and was not even beatified until well after this song was written in the mid-19th century... Is it not possible that the original saint Agnes was venerated in Bohemia at this time (and is the one referred to in the song) and Agnes of Bohemia was named after her?

Is there any independent evidence regarding the existence of Agnes or, more plausibly, the prefect Sempronius? I'd imagine someone must have looked for it at some point. JQ ( talk) 00:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Agnes being the patroness of gardeners and rape victims (etc.) isn't based on any identifiable source. On google books, the oldest "reference" to this effect is this, a random 2008 publication on Bella Italia. List of saints' patronages tend to attract pileups of random unreferenced listcruft. We should require any entry in such list to be based on at least half decent hagiographical literature. -- dab (𒁳) 12:58, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
"A beautiful young girl from a wealthy family" Hardly encyclopedic is it? In fact, looking at kids like that is what I would expect from Ali Snackbar and friends, whether they live in Essex, the Middle East of wherever it is that you live and practice your religion - a religion which, following the lead of good old Mo' thinks it acceptable to abuse young women. 84.60.23.33 ( talk) 23:00, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
