Santa Lucia was a 4th century Christian martyr from Syracuse who had vowed her virginity to God. For three years she managed to rebuff the advances of a nobleman. To make herself unattractive she plucked out her eyes but God restored them. The outraged suitor accused her of being a Christian and Lucia was condemned to labor in a house of ill-fame. She persisted in her faith and was condemned to be burned during the persecutions of the emperor Diocletian. The fires did not consume her and so she was ultimately stabbed in the neck.
