🕯 St. Lucy and Christian Martyrdom
St. Lucy of Syracuse lived in 3rd-century Sicily during the Roman persecutions of Christians. When ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods, she refused. Ancient Christian tradition recounts that soldiers attempted to drag her away, yet she stood unmoved. Her body could be bound, but her will remained free.

Before she surrendered her life, she received the Blessed Sacrament — a final act of Eucharistic devotion and steadfast faith.

Lent is a season of penance, prayer, and conversion. The story of St. Lucy reminds us that true Christian strength is rooted in Christ — especially in the Holy Eucharist.
