Saint Lucia Bracelet

When you wear your Saint Lucia bracelet do you know the significance? Saint Lucia of Syracuse is the Latin name for Saint Lucy.

She is best known as the patron saint of the blind as she was brutally tortured because she refused to marry and refused to renounce her Christian faith. One of her many sufferings was to have her eyes gouged out by the barbarous soldiers of the Decian reign.

Her feast day is December 13.
