Living Liturgically: Creating a Domestic Church
December 13
SAINT LUCY
Sicily, Italy
c.304
St. Lucy was a young girl who decided to consecrate her life to God and remain a virgin. A pagan suitor was angered when she rejected him and he exposed her as a Christian (during a time when Christians were persecuted).
According to tradition, she was miraculously saved from the fire that was intended to burn her; she had her eyes taken out; and died when a sword was thrust into her throat.
Did you know?
St. Lucy, among seven other holy women, is commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass.
A family tradition...
Make traditional Lucy Buns.
​
Light a candle (since her name means "light") and pray to
St. Lucy to protect your eyesight.
