Saints Agnes, Pudentiana, and Praxedes


9th century
Mosaic
Chapel of St. Zeno
Basilica of St. Praxedes, Rome

The saints are identified by the gray inscriptions (illegible in this photo) placed beside their haloes. Agnes is on the far left, Pudentiana is beside her, and her sister Praxedes is on the far right, separated from the others by a blind window. As in the great apse mosaic in this church, they carry their martyr's crowns as offerings – in this case a part of a procession to the altar in the St. Zeno chapel.
