St Lucy Novena

Why we pray this novena

St. Lucy is often invoked for matters related to vision, eyesight, and eye diseases. People who are experiencing eye problems or have loved ones facing such challenges may turn to St. Lucy for her intercession and healing. Her story of remaining steadfast in her Christian faith amidst persecution showcases courage and dedication. Praying to her can provide inspiration and strength for individuals facing challenges in their own lives, encouraging them to stand firm in their beliefs.

Just as St. Lucy’s name is linked to light, her intercession is often sought by those navigating metaphorical darkness in their lives— difficult decisions, uncertainties, or emotional struggles. Praying to her is believed to bring clarity to see things from a new perspective.

About Saint Lucy

St. Lucy, also known as Santa Lucia, was a martyr who lived during the late Roman Empire in Syracuse, Sicily. St. Lucy dedicated her life to Christ at an early age and vowed to remain a virgin. Her devout faith led to her being sought after in marriage, but she rejected the suitors. An angry suitor led her to Emperor Diocletian, denouncing her as a Christian.

St. Lucy brought food and aid to imprisoned Christians, using a wreath of candles on her head to light her way and keep her hands free to carry provisions. This image of Lucy with a crown of candles has become a symbol of her feast day. She was eventually arrested and sentenced to death. The name “Lucy” is derived from the Latin word “lux,” meaning light, leading to her association with vision and sight. St. Lucy is the patron saint of the blind, the visually impaired, and those with eye diseases.
