Agatha of Catania - tortured by cutting off her breasts

Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Die abgebildete Statue ist eine von sechs weiblichen Heiligenfiguren in einer Kapelle im Convento de San Francisco in Quito, Ecuador. Die auf einer Schale liegenden Brüste lassen auf Agatha von Catania schließen. Diese hatte der Legende nach die Werbung des Stadthalters abgelehnt und war deshalb sadistisch zu Tode gequält worden, u.a. durch Zerreißen und Abschneiden der Brüste. (Quelle: Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon)
English: The pictured statue is one of six female figures of saints in a chapel in the Convento de San Francisco in Quito, Ecuador. The breasts lying on a bowl suggest Agatha of Catania. She had - according to the legend - refused the courtship of the city governor and was therefore sadistically tortured to death, among other things by tearing and cutting off her breasts.
