Saint Lucy is not a "famous Saint". She is a Saint that identifies with the day-to-day mundane activities of 'ordinary' life. She becomes extraordinary because of her mentions by the great thinkers and writers of the Church. As an example, in Latin her name is Lucia or light and Saint Lucy was once known as the light across Europe. She was one of eleven female saints recognized by the Church as early as 600 AD in our Mass Celebration. She is honored also within the Lutheran Church, which is known to discount saints, where she has absorbed Sweden's celebration of Saint Stephen, the only other condoned saint of their Lutheran faith. Saint Lucy is mentioned several times in the "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri."The Life and Prayers of Saint Lucy of Syracuse" by Wyatt North is a crisp, concise, and congenital examination of faith for today's seeker of confidence in their belief to find historical confirmation of their path to follow.
