St. Lucia of Syracuse
Lucia of Syracuse, also referred to as St. Lucy, was born around 283 A.D. in Sicily, Italy. Lucy’s father died when she was 5 years old, and her mother, Eutychia, was left to take care of her. The time came when Lucy’s mother began feeling sick, they prepared a shrine to St. Agatha and prayed there every night. One evening, Lucia was in prayer and St. Agatha appeared to her and let her know that her mother would be cured of her illness. In the morning, Lucia’s mother was healed from hemorrhages. With her mother’s health repaired, Lucy took the opportunity and coaxed her mother to hand out part of their riches to the poor.
Lucy’s love never stopped growing for God, and she wanted to dedicate more of her life to Him.
