Strengthen your faith in God with the St. Lucy Biography Prayer Card. One of the patron saints of virgins, St. Lucy is venerated on her feast day, December 13 by a variety of ceremonies. Spurning marriage and worldly pleasures, she vowed to remain a virgin in the tradition of St. Agatha. This caused an angry suitor to report her to the local Roman authorities, who sentenced her to be removed to a brothel and forced into prostitution. Divine intervention thwarted two attempts to kill St. Lucy until finally, her neck was pierced by a sword and she died.
