14k Yellow Gold St. Lucy Medal Pendant (21X19MM)

Lucia of Syracuse (283–304) is the patron saint of the blind and those with eye trouble. In addition to being the patroness of Syracuse in Sicily, Saint Lucy is also the patron saint of the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, one of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. Lucy was a young Christian martyr who died during the Diocletianic persecution. The oldest archaeological evidence comes from the Greek inscriptions from the catacombs of St. John in Syracuse. According to legend, she had taken vows of chastity but her mother promised her in marriage to a wealthy pagan. When Lucy rejected him and gave away much of her dowry to the poor, he reported her Christianity to the governor of Syracuse and she was put to death by sword. In medieval accounts, Saint Lucy's eyes are gouged out prior to her execution.

It is fitting this special piece is crafted of gold; it is said spiritual energy and power are activated and awakened by wearing or praying with gold. Gold represents the spiritual treasure gained by transforming the spirit; gold also represents love in the Bible. Optimistic and positive, gold adds richness and warmth to everything with which it is associated. It illuminates and enhances. Gold represents perfection in all things. This is 'earth friendly' as it is made with the Refined Karats system certified by Scientific Certification Systems' (SCS) strict requirements. Proudly made in America with a green process of ethically, environmentally and socially responsible production processes of water, waste and energy management; the gold is from 100 percent recycled Karats.

The rising price of gold makes this a great investment.
