Also known as Lucy, Saint Lucia was a wealthy Christian. Her mother did not approve of her faith, so the two went to the tomb of Saint Agatha, where Lucia prayed and an illness of her mother's was cured. Her pagan suitor denounced her to the Governor of Syracuse, who later sentenced her to a brothel, and later burned at a stake. She would not move from the brothel and the fire at the stake burned out, leading to her beheading.
