About Feast of Saint Agatha
The Feast of Saint Agatha is an annual liturgical commemoration of Saint Agatha of Sicily (c. 231 – c. 251 AD), a Christian virgin martyr, celebrated on February 5 in the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian traditions. Rooted in the Roman Rite, the feast features a Mass and Divine Office enriched with Gregorian chant, honoring Agatha's martyrdom under the Decian persecution and her enduring legacy as a protector against fire, earthquakes, and bodily afflictions. One of the seven women named in the Canon of the Mass, her feast has evolved from early Christian veneration into a major cultu.
