Patron saint to the blind and those with eye ailments, the blessings of St. Lucy of Syracuse enhance the world through this Inexpensive Oxidized Medal. With a name that means light, St. Lucy earns this patronage because of her name and because of her inspiring story. According to legends, this Catholic saint refused an arranged marriage to a pagan, who then took revenge by proclaiming her as a Christian. Our Catholic martyr defended her faith which led to her torture, and the removal of both eyes. Thus, in religious pictures as shown in this medal, St. Lucy is depicted with a dish containing two eyes.
Based on some Catholic accounts, St. Lucy met her death by being stabbed in the throat, which also made her the patron saint against throat infections. Our St. Lucy Inexpensive Oxidized Medal is a fitting tribute to any unyielding faith that is a guiding light to other Catholics.
