St Agnes Letter To Australia

Decent Essays
St Agnes was tortured for being a Christian in her time, it was against the law to follow Christianity. Although in Australia I can not go through what St Agnes did for being a Christian, many people around the world are still tortured, placed in jail and even murdered for simply being a Christian. A way that I can help is by writing a letter to the united nations raising awareness of the lack of freedom of religion around the world. I would ask them to work hard in the 6 countries that the American government marked as “countries of particular concern” for religious freedom violations. These countries include Iran, Burma, China, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan.

St Agnes was a significant person and lived her life as evidence of her faith

    LIFE OF HERLUIN, (VITA HERLUINI), by Gilbert Crispin (1045-1117) Analysis of lines 8-20, page 8 Gilbert Crispin (1045-1117), the author of the possible foundation narrative or pseudo-hagiography - from the Greek, meaning ‘holy writing’ - Vita Herluini, as it was originally titled in Latin, was a theologian, monk at the Abbey of Bec, and ultimately the Abbot of Westminster (1085). Consequently, Crispin spent much of his life in the Abbey of Bec, alongside Herluin and later on, Lanfranc, providing the inspiration behind the text. The document is believed to be dated towards the end of Crispin’s life, likely after 1078 and the death of Anselm, the Abbot of Bec, after Herluin’s death in 1078. Around this period in medieval history, hagiographies were a popular method of promoting the lives of saints, but as stated by Salih, they were ‘amongst the earliest English literature’ and ‘continued to flourish in the early sixteenth century.’…
