St. Lucy gives witness to both virginity and martyrdom. The name "Lucy" means light, and for this reason she is invoked by those who suffer from diseases of the eye. Her feastday, celebrated on December 13 in the midst of winter darkness, is a symbol of how Lucy brought the light of Christ to the world. She is invoked as the patron of those seeking good eyesight, the visually impaired, those suffering from eye diseases, and those seeking the light of faith. The novena booklet includes morning and evening prayer, Thirteen Days Devotion in Honor of St. Lucy to Contemplate Her Life of Heroic Virtue, Prayer for Those Suffering from Eye Disease, Prayer for the Preservation of the Gift of Sight, and more.
