MARTYR LUCIA FROM ROME, 6th July

'HAPPINESS IS WHEN:
- WHAT YOU THINK,
- WHAT YOU SAY,
- WHAT YOU DO ARE IN HARMONY'. (Mahatma Gandhi).

All that is really known for certain of Lucy is that she was a martyr in Syracuse during the Diocletianic Persecution of 304 AD. Her veneration spread to Rome, and by the 6th century to the whole Church. The oldest archaeological evidence comes from the Greek inscriptions from the catacombs of St. John in Syracuse.
