Patronage of St. Agatha
St. Agatha is the patron saint of those with breast cancer, fire prevention, nurses, rape and sexual assault victims, and against natural disasters and volcanic eruptions. She is patron of those with breast cancer due to the manner in which she was tortured, having her breasts cut off. St. Agatha is also the patron saint of rape and sexual assault victims because of another method of torture which was used on her, where she was forced to live in a brothel and be humiliated through the violent acts that took place there. She is the patron saint of nurses because of her vision of St. Peter coming to her aid and nursing the wounds she received from being tortured. She became the patron saint of fire prevention and against natural disasters and volcanic eruptions when she was invoked to prevent Mt. Etna from erupting, and the volcano settled.
