Her name means "light," and her life was like a lamp shining in the darkness. Born into a wealthy family, Lucia dedicated her heart to God from a young age and found joy in helping the poor. However, her pure faith was tested in the pagan society of the time. She was accused and persecuted after refusing to marry a young man who desired her. According to legend, people were so captivated by the beauty of Lucia's clear eyes that they tried to make her renounce her faith by taking her eyes. But surprisingly, even after losing her sight, the light of her soul did not disappear. Rather, its brilliance grew stronger, proving that no matter how much the body was hurt, the light of faith could never be taken away. Her figure became a great hope for those who lived in later ages, and Lucia came to be deeply revered as "the saint who protects the eyes and the light of faith." Because of this background, the medals depicting Saint Lucia have a unique composition. In many cases, she is depicted holding a palm branch, a symbol of martyrdom, and in her other hand, a "plate with her own eyes." This symbolic plate is interpreted not as the physical eyes that were taken away, but as the "spiritual eyes" filled with trust in God, giving deep emotion to those who see it. Sometimes, her profile or clear gaze is carefully engraved, strongly impressing her presence as the saint of light. This Saint Lucia Medaille necklace is for those who wish for the health of their eyes and throat, as well as for all who wish to "walk without losing the light of faith." Even when lost in the darkness, her quiet prayers and unwavering strength will surely guide you...
