Saint Agape (Love) was one of the three daughters of Saint Sophia. Saint Sophia and her three daughters Pistis, Elpis and Agape came to Rome and lived during the years of the emperor Hadrian. As soon as the emperor was informed that the four women were Christians, he ordered that they be arrested. After the authorities had taken away their mother, they began to interrogate the daughters. Agape, only 9 years old, came before the emperor and said that her entire existence revolved around the love of God and long-suffering for Christ’s sake. Consequently, the emperor ordered her beheading. Her memory is celebrated along with that of her mother and sisters on the 17th of September.
