St. Agatha the Virgin-Martyr of Palermo (source)
A paradoxical wonder equal to Moses has occurred at the martyrdom of the all-glorious Agatha, and Martyr of Christ God, for he passed on to the people the Law received on the Mountain written by God, while an Angel from heaven placed a plaque upon her grave, on which was written: A righteous mind, self-determined, honor from God, the deliverance of her father-land."

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
