Description

The legend of Saint Lucia It was in the fourth century that the legend of Saint Lucia was born. A young girl of the nobility of Syracuse who obtained the miraculous healing of her mother suffering from an incurable disease by dint of repeated prayers to the Virgin Mary. Devoting boundless worship and devotion to the latter, she tore out her eyes and threw them into the sea so as not to be turned away from her faith and to keep her suitors away. Entirely focused on prayer, she performed many miracles. In response to this devotion, the Blessed Virgin restored his sight and gave him more beautiful and luminous eyes (Occhji belli e luccichenti). The seal of the shell called the rough turbo symbolizes the eyes of Saint Lucia. Wearing one would ward off the evil eye and promote luck. In Corsica, the eye of Saint Lucia is considered a good luck charm.
