Upopu John Paul I UAgatha waseSicily UPopu John XXIII UPopu Innocent IIIWayengubani uSanta Lucy?
U-Saint Lucy, okwabizwa ngokuba ngu-Lucia wase-Syracuse, okanye u-Saint Lucia (u-Sancta Lucia ngesi-Latin), wayengumfeli-nkolo ongumKristu owafa ngexesha le-Diocletianic Tshutshiso lwenkulungwane ye-4. Imibhalo engaphefumlelwanga icacisa ukuba uLucy, owayevela kusapho olufumileyo lwaseSicilian, wasikhaba isicelo somtshato wendoda engumhedeni kwaye wafunga ukuba uyakuhlala eyintombi nto ngokwesiko laseSt. Agatha. Nangona kunjalo, ngelixesha, wayemcaphukisile lo mfana, owamxela kwabasemagunyeni baseRoma. U-Lucy emva koko wangcungcuthekiswa de wafa.

Ngaphambili Okulandelayo Obomi bakwangoko Kukholelwa ukuba uLucy wazalwa ngonyaka we-283, usapho olwalutyebile eSicilian. Uyise wayenemvelaphi yaseRoma kwaye wasweleka xa uLucy wayeneminyaka emi-5 ubudala. Igama likanina lalingu-Eutychia, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba wayengowomnombo wamaGrike. Nangona wayeshiywe engenatata esemncinci, uLucy wayezuze njengelifa. Umama kaLucy wayefuna ukuba uLucy atshate nendoda esisityebi yobuhedeni. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Iintsomi ngobomi bakhe bokuqala Kukholelwa ukuba ekubeni uLucy wayengumKristu ozinikeleyo, wayengafuni ukutshata nendoda engumhedeni. Wacela nomama wakhe ukuba alabe ikhazi lakhe kwabangamahlwempu. Nangona kunjalo, umama wakhe akenzanga njalo ekuqaleni. Njengomntu ofikisayo, uLucy wayesele ezibophelele kubomi bokungatshati kunye nokusebenzela uThixo. Eyona njongo yakhe yayikukunceda amahlwempu. Ukongeza, wanceda amanye amaKatolika ukuba azimele kumangcwaba angaphantsi komhlaba ukubanceda baphephe ukutshutshiswa. Kukholelwa ukuba wayeza kunxiba isithsaba esenziwe ngamakhandlela entloko ukufumana indlela yakhe ngeetonela ezimnyama, nanjengoko izandla zakhe zingazala kukutya kunye nokubonelelwa kwabantu. Ngesinye isikhathi, umama kaLucy wagula kakhulu ngenxa yengxaki yokopha. Wazama unyango oluninzi kodwa akwabikho nanye encedayo. Ukulandela oku, uLucy wacela umama wakhe ukuba atyelele indawo engcwele yase-Agatha kunye naye. Bathandaza ubusuku bonke etempileni. Nangona kunjalo, bediniwe, bakhawuleza balala engcwabeni. U-Agatha wase-Agatha emva koko wabonakala kuLucy ephupheni wamxelela ukuba umama wakhe uphilisiwe. U-Saint Agatha ukwazisile uLucy ukuba uyakuba likratshi laseSirakuse, apho ahlala khona. Umama kaLucy wabuya wachacha emva koko wababela ubutyebi babo phakathi kwabahluphekileyo, ngokwesicelo sikaLucy. Iintsomi ngokutshutshiswa kwakhe Indoda engumPagane eyayicebise uLucy yayivutha ngumsindo xa yeva ukuba uLucy akazinikelanga ekubeni yintombi kuphela kodwa wanikela nangekhazi lakhe kwabasweleyo. Njengempindezelo yakhe, waxela ngokholo lukaLucy kuPaschasius, irhuluneli yaseSirakuse, eSicily. Emva phayaa, amaKristu amaninzi ayetshutshiswa ngenxa yokholo lwawo. Irhuluneli ke yathumela oonogada ukuba bathathe uLucy bamthumele kwindawo yoonongogo, njengesohlwayo. Nangona kunjalo, xa amajoni eza kumthatha, akakwazanga ukumhambisa uLucy. Xa irhuluneli yabuza ngesizathu samandla akhe, wathi sisiphumo songenelelo lukaThixo Ekugqibeleni, bamthuthumbisa uLucy kwaye banqwenela ukumtshisa afe. Oonogada baqokelela iinkuni ngeenxa zonke kuye, kodwa neli cebo lahluleka, njengoko iinkuni zingatshi. Ngenxa yoko, bamhlaba entanyeni ngekrele. U-Lucy ke waba ngumfeli-nkolo ngonyaka ka-304. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Ngokutsho kweentsomi, uLucy wayenamehlo atsalelayo, kwaye indoda engumhedeni eyayicebise ngayo iyawathanda amehlo ayo. Olunye uhlobo lwebali lakhe lubonisa ukuba uLucy wazisa amehlo akhe kule ndoda yobuhedeni, emva koko wamcela ukuba amshiye yedwa. Olunye uhlobo lweli bali lubonisa ukuba ngelixa wayethuthunjiswa, uLucy wayelumkise uPaschasius ukuba akazukuhlala esohlwaywa. Ukuva oku, uPaschasius onomsindo wayalela oonogada ukuba bamkhuphe amehlo. Nangona kunjalo, ibali libonisa ukuba uThixo uwabuyisile amehlo akhe kamva. Nangona ubuninzi bobomi bakhe buvela kuphela kwiintsomi, kukholelwa ukuba uLucy kungenzeka ukuba ubhubhe ngenxa yentshutshiso yamaKristu ngexesha lolawulo lomlawuli waseRoma uDiocletian. Uye wakhankanywa kwiisakramente zokuqala zamaRoma. Igama lakhe likwavela kumbhalo okwiSirakuse, owabakho ukususela ngowama-400 C.E. Ubukho bakhe bangaphambili bunokubonakaliswa ziicawa ezimbini ezazinikezelwe kuye eBritani ngaphambi kwenkulungwane ye-8, xa ubukumkani ubukhulu becala babungobuhedeni. Emva kokufa Iintsomi zithi xa umzimba wakhe wawulungiselelwa ukungcwatywa, kwafunyaniswa ukuba amehlo akhe abuyile. USigebert, owayeyimonki yaseGembloux, wayebhale 'sermo de Sancta Lucia,' eyathi umzimba kaLucy wawusele ungaphazanyiswa eSicily kangangeminyaka engama-400, de uFaroald II, uDuke waseSpoleto, wasoyisa esi siqithi wathumela amathambo akhe e-Abruzzo, ElamaTaliyane. Amathambo kamva afuduselwa eMetz ngu-Emperor Otho I ngo-972. Bashiywa ‘kwiCawa yaseSt. Vincent. ’Nangona kunjalo, amabango abonisa ukuba iziqwenga zomzimba wakhe zisenokufumaneka e-Italiya (eRoma, eNaples, eLisbon, eVerona naseMilan), eJamani, eSweden naseFrance. Ilifa, iNkcubeko edumileyo, kunye neMpawu Elona bali lidala elikhankanya uLucy yayiyinxalenye ‘yeZenzo zabafeli-nkolo zenkulungwane yesi-5.’ Ekuphela kwenxalenye ezivumelana ngayo ezo ngxelo yintsomi yommangaleli owayenomsindo nokubulawa kukaLucy eSirakuse. Igama lakhe lasasazeka eRoma ngokukhawuleza. Ngenkulungwane yesi-6, waye ehlonitshwa yiCawe iphela. Obona bungqina budala bezinto zakudala malunga nobukho bakhe bunokufunyanwa kwimibhalo yamaGrike yamangcwaba angcwaba ‘eSt. John ’eSirakuse. UJacobus de Voragine 'Legenda Aurea' yayiyinguqulelo edumileyo yentsomi kaLucy kumaXesha Aphakathi. Usuku lomthendeleko wakhe lubhiyozelwa nge-13 kaDisemba rhoqo ngonyaka. ESweden, uSuku lweSt. Lucia lubonisa ukuqala kwemibhiyozo yeKrisimesi. Intombi endala yosapho ibonwa inxibe ingubo emhlophe kwaye inxibe isithsaba esihonjiswe ngamakhandlela. U-Lucy ukwaziwa ukuba uyingcwele yasesirakuse (iSicily), iintombi, kunye nokubona (okanye iimfama). Igama likaLucy linokuthetha 'ukukhanya' okanye 'lucid.' Kwizinto zobugcisa bamaxesha aphakathi, waboniswa ephethe isitya segolide ngamehlo abo kwaye ephethe isebe lesundu, eliluphawu lokoyisa ububi. ULucy ukwavela nakwimbongi yaseNtaliyane uDante ‘Inferno’ nakwenye yemibongo kaJohn Donne. ULucy ukhunjulwa njengowasetyhini okhaliphileyo owayezimisele ukunikela ngobomi bakhe kuThixo. Ibali lakhe lifundisa abantu ukuba kufuneka beme phantsi nokuba bagxekwa ngokubamba inkolelo okanye ukholo oluthile.
