SAINT AGATHA: legend has it that sometime in the third century in Sicily, she refused to worship Roman gods, as well as refused to engage in sexual activities with non-Christian Romans, leading to her torture with the breast ripper (Yalom, 32). other sources say that Romans attempted to burn her at the stake, but an earthquake prevented the fire from being lit. she was later prayed to by mothers who sought healthy breast milk, and is the patron saint of breastfeeding, as well as rape victims.
