Anna Pak Agi was a Catholic saint born in 1782 in Gangcheon, Joseon. Despite finding religious study difficult, she maintained a deep devotion to her faith, frequently meditating on the Passion of Christ. After marrying a Christian man, she raised five children. Her steadfast commitment to her beliefs eventually led to her arrest alongside her husband and eldest son during a period of religious persecution in South Korea.
