 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Agnus Dei (In Liturgy)
Its remoter source was the declaration of the Baptist: "Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce Qui tollit peccatum mundi" (John 1:29), supplemented by the cry of the two blind men (Matthew 9:27): "Miserere nostri, fili David." The scriptural origin of the formula is therefore evident at a glance.
A very interesting exception is found in the masses of Gounod (quite naturally, in view of his training and polyphonic studies), which respect the triple symmetry of the text; and we find in his "Agnus" almost the primitive plainsong symmetry.
Gounod's trope was built up out of his own fancy, but was at least wholly liturgical in the selection of the intercalated text; it was also singularly appropriate to the portion of the Mass then reached, namely, the Communion of priest or of people.

 FertilAid Fertility Supplements: Optimize Your Chances of Conceiving!
Vitex agnus castus works by acting on the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, which are responsible for releasing hormones or triggering hormone responses throughout the reproductive system.
As vitex agnus castus has been shown to support progesterone production and suppress prolactin, vitex may be suggested as a herbal remedy for menstrual cycle imbalances, luteal phase defect, and possibly PCOS (as normalized progesterone levels and cycle regularity may suppress the development of ovarian cysts associated with estrogen dominance).
In a benchmark study, sixty-seven women with ovulatory/cycle disorders were treated with vitex agnus, which resulted in a "marked improvement of progesterone levels during the luteal phase, earlier ovulation, and thirty-eight achieved pregnancies" (Bergmann, 2000).

After the "Agnus Dei" at the Mass that day, the Pope would place a packet of them into the mitres of the Bishops present, who would then distribute them themselves.
Popes no longer bless and distribute Agnus Dei, what with the obvious sophistication of "modern man" who, in his gnosticism, has no need for blessed objects (if you don't believe me about "modern man," I invite you to read the history of the peaceful 20th century.

In his musical setting, Bach, however, omits the last repetition of "Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi," and moves immediately into "Dona nobis pacem." The reason is unclear though we can speculate.
Bach may have felt the third statement of that text was redundant, especially after the numerous pleas for mercy found in the extensive Kyrie, and to a lesser extent in the Gloria.
The Agnus Dei shows many of the characteristics we associate with Bach's style in general, including many items we discussed in the St.

She said that they were, in fact, using these inexpensive types lockets to hold some wax taken from those discs.
