Holy Martyr Lucy 7/19/2013
Lucy was taken captive by the barbarian Emperor Austius in Campania. The emperor wanted Lucy to live with him (as his concubine) but she protested. The emperor left her in peace so that she could live a life of asceticism. She even converted the emperor to the Faith because, through her prayer, he gained a victory in battle. In the end she, together with the emperor, were martyred for Christ in Rome about the year 300 A.D.
