WELCOME!

SAINT LUCY, VIRGIN AND MARTYR

On June 25, the Roman Martyrology* mentions Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr and 22 unnamed Companions who, however, is identical to Saint Lucy (S. Luceja), where 13 companions are named. On June 26, the translation of relics of the Virgin and Martyr Lucy (feast day: December 13) is celebrated, therefore, on this occasion, the Bollandists* list Saint Lucy among the Praetermissi. (Jun. v. 4).
