An earthquake was used in the life of Saint Agatha. After she had been cruelly tortured and had part of her body cut off, she was healed.

When the Romans tried to start the torture over the next day, in the middle of the torture, an earthquake occurred at a near by volcano.

This frightened the people in the town/city, and the Roman prefect ordered the torturing to stop.

Within a day, Saint Agatha died peaceably in her cell within a die -- not suffering anymore torture.

Saint Agatha, Pray for us!
