St. Lucia of Syracuse

Patron Saint of the Blind, St. Lucia of Syracuse is known for having had her eyes plucked out after refusing to marry a pagan suitor. She is venerated in Italy and much of Europe, even into modern times. Priests who follow her can expect to develop unique powers of vision, the ability to see things as they really are.
When Lucia materializes on the Earthly plane, she often appears without any eyes. In their place are two glowing orbs whose radiance and beauty if shocking to behold. She can, supposedly, look into a person's soul with her eyes and discern their deepest secrets.
St. Lucia demands from her followers that they be guides to others who are less off. We are all our brother's keeper, and we must do our part.
