Lucy is not remembered for any miracles. She is remembered for being a young girl who preferred to give up her life as a martyr rather that deny her faith and surrender her virginity. Lucy is said to have prayed at the tomb of Saint Agatha, and her mother's long haemorrhagic illness was cured.
There are a few miracles that occurred at the tine she was martyred. When she refused to marry a pagan, Paschasius, he denounced Lucy as a Christian to the governor of Sicily. The governor sentenced her to forced prostitution, but when guards went to fetch her, they could not move her even when they hitched her to a team of oxen. The governor ordered her killed instead. After torture that included having her eyes torn out, she was surrounded by bundles of wood which were set afire; they went out. She was finally executed by being stabbed to death with a dagger. It is said that her eyes were miraculously restored just before she died.
