I added that she is a patron saint of virgins as well (because she protected her chastity from her father). Her chaplets are sometimes sold in the white (for virginity) and red (for martyrdom) as well as the traditional green. I figuring adding the martyr thing is a little redundant though. I think the insanity word is a liitle offensive, but than again I realize its use in its historical usage, so I don't have a problem as it is. Khirad 03:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Even though she protected her chastity from her father, she has never been the patron saint for virgins. Sorry if this comes out a bit harsh but you can't arbitrarily add patronage based on the color of the chaplet and story. Long standing tradition is that St. Agnes is the patron saint of virgins. Her and Joan of Arc. --Dysepsion 03:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
