Lucy was promised in marriage to a pagan but she refused as she stated she wished to remain a virgin for our Lord. The man renounced her to authorities and the emperor condemned her to a life of forced prostitution. When they attempted to take her to the emperor they were unable to lift her, even when they hitched her to oxen. The emperor ordered her killed.
