SAINTS DECEMBER 13 ST. ARISTON, MARTYR OF PORTO, Dec. 13 St. Lucy, was a young Roman Catholic martyr who lived in Syracuse lost her life during the persecution of Christians in the early fourth century. Her veneration spread to Rome so that by the sixth century the whole Church recognized her courage in defense of the faith. Patron of Blindness St. Lucy was martyred on December 13, 304. At her trial, the judge reportedly became enamored of her beautiful eyes, and she, to halt his passion, tore them out and sent them to him on a platter. Hence, St. Lucy - a name derived from the Latin for light, lux - is invoked as protector of the eyes.  Feastday Dec 1 3 https://www.vaticannews.va/en/saints/12/13/st--lucy--virgin-and-martyr-of--syracuse.html  St. Elizabeth Rose, Roman Catholic Nun.
