The story of Agnes, a beautiful Roman girl and devoted Christian, highlights her unwavering commitment to Christ amidst the advances of Count Sempronius's son. Despite his attempts to win her over with gifts and affection, Agnes remains steadfast in her vow of chastity. Her refusal to sacrifice to the goddess Vesta leads to her being accused of witchcraft after the tragic death of the prefect's son. Demonstrating her faith, Agnes raises him from the dead, which ultimately inspires the prefect to convert. However, fearing for their idols, the priests condemn her to death, leading to her martyrdom, where she joins Christ in heaven.
