21 gennaio - SANT'AGNESE: gli agnelli presentati a Papa Leone XIV come da tradizione - shorts published on 21 January 2026
La tradizione prevede che due agnelli, allevati dalle suore benedettine
e benedetti dal Papa il 21 gennaio (festa di Sant'Agnese), forniscano la lana
bianca per confezionare i Palli, paramenti liturgici per il Papa e gli
arcivescovi metropoliti, simboleggiando il gregge e il compito pastorale, con
consegna solenne il 29 giugno, festa dei santi Pietro e Paolo, come segno di
comunione
Why does POPE LEO have two little LAMBS?
As tradition dictates, every January 21, two lambs are presented to the Pope, whose wool will be used to make the palliums for the new archbishops. But… what is the story behind this tradition? - video published on 21 January 2026

Tradition dictates that two lambs, raised by Benedictine nuns and blessed by the Pope on January 21 (the feast of Saint Agnes), provide the white wool to make the Pallia, liturgical vestments for the Pope and the metropolitan archbishops, symbolizing the flock and the pastoral task, with solemn delivery on June 29, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, as a sign of communion.

from the last section of a four part Franciscan blessing:
MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH ENOUGH FOOLISHNESS
TO BELIEVE THAT YOU REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD,
SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE, WITH GOD’S GRACE, TO DO WHAT OTHERS CLAIM, CANNOT BE DONE.
Jan 21 - Homily: St Agnes, Holy Example
video published on 21 Jan 2017
Fr. Ignatius for the retreat titled "Universal Call to Holiness" gives the second homily where he presents St Agnes, virgin and martyr, as a great example for her willingness to go out and give everything she had to obtain the treasure of holiness and the kingdom of heaven. He points out that she overcame the two things that we must overcome to become holy, love of pleasure and fear of pain for she was tempted with many rewards if she was to forsake her faith as well as threatened by many tortures if she did not. Let us choose as well as she did.
