Historical martyrology witness · Martyrologium Romanum (Latin historical edition)
Syracusis, in Sicilia, natalis sanctae Luciae, Virginis et Martyris, in persecutione Diocletiani. Haec nobilis Virgo, cum eam lenones, quibus, jubente Paschasio Consulari, tradita erat ut a populo castitati ejus illuderetur, ducere vellent, nullatenus per illos moveri potuit, nec funibus additis, nec boum jugis plurimis; deinde vero, picem, resinam ac fervens oleum nil laesa superans, tandem, gladio in gutture percussa, martyrium consummavit.
