Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and that’s sure something

Just a few more. This is a big trend. 

Things I learned from the comments

• She’s a patron saint of rape and abuse victims
• She took a vow a chastity
• A low born guy demanded her to be with him and she turned him down
• For this she was imprisoned and tortured. This is how she lost her breasts (details not required)
• She was repeatedly raped.
• The Catholic Church regards her as a virgin for her peity despite the rape. (No matter your views on virginity this is a pretty interesting statement)
• She was sentenced to death to burn at the stake but was saved by an earthquake
• In her holiday people make titty cupcakes

I didn’t know she existed and now I think she’s a pretty rad woman. I would hesitate calling her a protofeminist as some often do with amazing women in history but she is pretty cool. Also she’s still very relevant today as women are still treated the way she was.

Saint Agatha!
Today, february 5 it is her holy day and in a lot of places in europe it is the day most nightclubs will only allow women to enter since it is kind of a women only patron
