Oil Dedicated to St Agatha (Patron for Volcanic Eruptions)

Patroness of Protection Against Volcanic Eruptions, Courage in Suffering, and Unshakable Faith

St. Agatha of Sicily, born in the 3rd century, is one of the most revered virgin martyrs of the early Church. From a young age, she consecrated her life to Christ, pledging her virginity and heart to His service. Her beauty and virtue drew the attention of a Roman official who, angered by her refusal to renounce her Christian faith and her purity, subjected her to brutal torture. Despite unspeakable suffering, Agatha remained steadfast in her love for Christ, surrendering her body and soul entirely to His will.

After her martyrdom, the people of her homeland continued to call upon her intercession in times of danger. Most famously, during a violent eruption of Mount Etna, the faithful of Catania processed with her veil toward the advancing lava flow. Miraculously, the molten streams stopped, sparing the city from destruction. This powerful event led to her being venerated as the patron saint against volcanic eruptions, as well as fires and natural disasters.

St. Agatha’s story reminds us that God is our refuge in the face of life’s storms and disasters—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Her courage in suffering and the miraculous protection of her people reveal a heart wholly surrendered to Divine Providence.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to St. Agatha of Sicily is prayerfully prepared in honor of her unwavering faith and protective intercession. Each bottle comes with a prayer card seeking her prayers—for protection against volcanic eruptions, fires, and other natural disasters, and for strength in the face of personal trials and suffering.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love, this oil makes no claim of physical protection but is offered as a spiritual reminder of God’s safeguarding presence. It invites you to entrust your fears and dangers to God’s care, through the intercession of one who trusted Him completely.

May the life and witness of St. Agatha inspire you to stand firm in faith during life’s eruptions, trusting that even amidst destruction, God’s mercy and protection remain.
