Troparion (Tone 1)
Thy ewe, O Jesus, doth cry unto thee with a loud voice, saying, My bridegroom, I long for thee and in struggles seek thee.  I am crucified and buried with thee in thy Baptism, and for thee I do suffer until I reign with thee.  I die for thee that I may live in thee.  Then as a sacrificial lamb without blemish receive her who for thy sake was slain.  Through the intercessions of Saint Agnes, therefore, since thou art merciful, save our souls.  

As a thirteen year old girl, St. Agnes was thrown into the fire for the faith of Christ and was then beheaded. She gave up her life willingly in the faith of the Lamb of God.  She showed great miracle-working power during life. After death, she appeared to her parents encouraging them in the True Faith. Agnes suffered during the reign of Diocletian in the year 305 A.D.  Agnes is translated "lamb."

This icon is by the hand of Nicholas Papas.  The icon is from St. George Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral in Oakland, PA.
