Lucy of Syracuse was a young girl who lived in the third century in Sicily. At a young age she decided to devote her life to God. She refused to marry a pagan and he denounced her to the Roman governor. The governor sentenced her to forced prostitution, but when guards went to take her, they could not move her even when they hitched her to a team of oxen. The governor ordered her killed instead. After torture that included having her eyes torn out, she was surrounded by bundles of wood which were set afire; they went out. She prophesied against her persecutors, and was executed by being stabbed to death with a dagger.
