Saint Lucy, of noble birth, came with her mother Eutychia to the feast at the tomb of Saint Agatha the Martyr. Her mother was suffering from hemorrhages, and Lucy, inspired by faith, suggested that she touch the tomb for healing. In a dream, Saint Agatha appeared to her, saying that Lucy's faith would heal her mother. Lucy awoke and convinced her mother to refuse a suitor in order to dedicate herself to Christ.
Lucy began to distribute her possessions to the needs of the poor, which caused discontent in her suitor, who reported her to the governor Paschasius. Paschasius tried to persuade Lucy to offer sacrifices to idols, but she steadfastly defended her faith, asserting that she offered herself as a sacrifice to God.
After severe tortures, including attempts to force her into fornication and burning, Lucy remained unyielding through the power of God. She was wounded by a sword, but even in her mortal agony, she continued to proclaim peace in the Church of God. Seeing that Paschasius was condemned and brought in chains, Lucy, having partaken of the Holy Mysteries, surrendered her soul to the Lord.
Her relics were buried with honor, and a church was erected at the place of her martyrdom in the name of Saint Lucy, glorifying God in the Trinity.
