DAY TWENTY-SIX – Saint Lucy
From The Clone Saints Chronicles: Saint Lucy was martyred a virgin (naturally, being female) by either being given Holy Communion, a disease she caught in jail, a knife to the throat, or beheading. But we favor the beheading story because that was all The Church has of her when we went to harvest her DNA. It’s eyes were missing which gave credibility to the authenticity of the relic as Lucy’s eyes were gored out by a fork according to legend (less clear is if the goring was self-inflicted or by a Roman guard). Shockingly, they did not grow back during the maturation phase, but are instead supplanted by a cold light.
