When Agatha refused the sexual advances of the Roman magistrate she was beaten, imprisoned, tortured, and her breasts were crushed and cut off. She told the judge, "Cruel man, have you forgotten your mother and the breast that nourished you, that you dare to mutilate me this way?" God gave her the relief she needed in the form of a vision of Saint Peter who then healed her wounds.
Imprisoned further, then rolled on live coals, she was near death when an earthquake struck. In the destruction, the magistrate's friend was crushed, which frightened the magistrate and he fled. Brave, Saint Agatha thanked God for an end to her pain, and died.
