Lucy was a beautiful young lady from the town of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. A pagan man wanted to marry Lucy. However, Lucy had made a vow of perpetual virginity and refused the man's proposal. The man complained to Roman authorities who had Lucy arrested. She was told to either marry the man or she would be executed. She accepted martyrdom rather than break her vow.
