St. Lucy was a young Christian martyr who lived in Syracuse, Sicily during the 3rd century. According to tradition, Lucy vowed to remain chaste and dedicate her life to God. She rejected marriage proposals and distributed her wealth among the poor, which angered a suitor who denounced her as a Christian to the authorities. Persecuted for her faith, Lucy was subjected to various tortures, including having her eyes gouged out. Therefore, she is recognized as the patron saint of the blind and visually impaired. * The Largest Catholic Sock Company… probably. * Tens of thousands of people are already wearing our socks. * These socks are sure to be a conversation starter and evangelization opportunity. * Our socks make great Catholic gifts for all occasions: First Communion, Confirmation, Ordination, Wedding, Christmas Presents, Easter Baskets, Graduation.
