St. Lucy was not canonized. She was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of her martyrdom. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.

Saint Lucy became a saint shortly after her death in the early 4th century. Her widespread veneration and miracles attributed to her intercession led to her canonization by the early Christian church. She is now recognized as the patron saint of the blind and those with eye ailments.
