Today we learn about St. Lucy of Syracuse, one of the most beloved martyrs of the early Church and a radiant witness to the Light of Christ. Her name means “light,” and her life continues to shine as a powerful example of faith, courage, and total trust in God during a time of intense persecution.

In this episode, Saul shares 7 cool facts about St. Lucy. You will learn how she consecrated her life to Christ, how she gave her wealth to the poor, and how she remained faithful even when betrayed and threatened for her beliefs. We also explore the miracles associated with her life, her unwavering courage in the face of suffering, and why she has been honored in the Church’s liturgy for more than seventeen centuries.

St. Lucy’s feast falls during Advent, a season when the Church awaits the coming of Christ, the true Light of the world. Her witness reminds us that even in darkness, faith rooted in Christ cannot be extinguished.
