St. Agnes Feast Day...January 21

Adrienne - Happy Birthday to you....What a lovely patron you have.
Meldelen - Y W Thank you for your little prayer.
Mary Lou - Y W I like this picture myself because it's the only one that shows her hair soo curly. (Does that tell you that I have perfectly STRAIGHT hair?)
Beautiful image! She is one of my Patron Saints - my B-Day shares her Feast day.
