About St. Lucy

Lucia of Syracuse also called Saint Lucia or Saint Lucy, a Christian martyr, and a saint is one of the eight women commemorated in the Holy Mass by the Roman Catholic Churches.

She is the patron saint of the blind, authors, cutlers, glaziers, laborers, martyrs, peasants, saddlers, salesmen, stained glass workers, and of Perugia, Italy.

She is invoked against hemorrhages, dysentery, diseases of the eye, and throat infections. She is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox churches.

St. Lucy’s Latin name “Lucia” shares its meaning with the Latin word lux, meaning light. According to history St. Lucy was born in a rich family to noble parents in the year 283 AD.

As a young girl, Lucy had consecrated her virginity to God and devoted her life to him. Lucy’s mother Eutychia, wanted her daughter to get married into a wealthy pagan family as she was suffering from a bleeding disorder and wanted to settle her life before her passing.

Lucy encountered St. Agatha in her dream while traveling to a pilgrimage in Catania in hope of her mother’s healing where she was promised a cure for her mother and was said that she will bring glory to Syracuse, upon her mother’s healing Lucy decided to give away her riches to the poor as an offering.

Upon hearing her distribution of jewels and gold Paschasius, the Governor of Syracuse ordered her to burn a sacrifice to the emperor’s image.

Upon her refusal, she was sentenced to be defiled in a brothel. She was saved by the Lord during her sacrifice but was killed by the sword into her throat
