The symbol of St. Agnes of Rome is typically depicted as a lamb, representing her purity and innocence. She is often shown with a palm branch, a symbol of martyrdom, as she was executed for her Christian beliefs.

The symbol for Saint Agnes of Rome is the lamb, because her name means "pure" in Greek and similar for the Latin word Angus, which means lamb. When popes confer a portion of their power on bishops, they send them a woolen cloth called a pallium. These are woolen from the wool of the lambs consecrated on St. Agnes' Day.
