FEB 05 | MEMORIAL OF ST. AGATHA OF SICILY

Saint Agatha, also known as Agatha of Sicily, was a Christian martyr who lived in the 3rd century. Her feast day is celebrated on February 5th. Agatha was born in Catania, Sicily, and is one of the seven women commemorated in the Canon of the Mass.

According to tradition, Agatha consecrated her life to God and resisted the advances of a Roman official named Quintianus. As a result, she faced persecution for her Christian faith. Quintianus subjected her to various tortures, including imprisonment, the cutting off of her breasts (hence, she is often depicted holding her severed breasts), and ultimately her martyrdom through martyrdom by burning at the stake.

Despite the brutal nature of her martyrdom, Agatha's story became widely revered in Christian tradition. She is often invoked as the patron saint of breast cancer patients, martyrs, and those suffering from sexual assault or other adversities. The name Agatha itself means "good" or "virtuous" in Greek, reflecting the virtues associated with her life and sacrifice.

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Candles had its Solemn Concelebrated Mass presided by Most Rev. Victor O. Bendico Archbishop of Capiz, together with invited priests from different parishes.

"In a candle there is light, wala sing pulos ang kandila kung wala sing kapawa, bisan ano katahom sang kandila, bisan ano ka tahum sang iya dekorasyon lakip na dira ang iya color kung ina indi mag siga, ina wala man gihapon sang pulos. Sa isa ka kandila may ara gina tawag wax, pabilo kag kapawa, ang inang tatlo, they are all conected".- Abp. Bendico
