Sicily is an enchanting land filled with ancient monuments of their history, including amphitheaters’ in Siracusa which tells the story of a civilization of centuries past, and the Greek temples scattered throughout the country, especially in Agrigento, which highlights the landscape of the country.

However, for our purposes and most important to our Faith belief, we want to share with you two special Saints of Sicily; Saints Rosalia, or Saint Rosalie, and Santa Lucia, or as we know her so well, Saint Lucy of Siracusa. Both of these women were powerful intercessors for the people of Sicily for centuries, and have had and continue to have a great influence on the spirituality of the Country.

Siracusa, Sicily is where the story of the life of St. Lucy unfolds.
