Agatha was born around 231 AD in Catania, Sicily, into a noble and wealthy family. From a young age, she stood out for her beauty, piety and devotion to God. She decided to dedicate her life to Christ and took a vow of chastity, refusing to marry despite the many proposals she received.

Saint Lucy was born in Syracuse, Sicily, in the late 3rd or early 4th century. According to tradition, she came from a noble Christian family. At a young age, she took a vow of virginity and dedicated her life to God. However, her faith and determination to follow her vocation encountered obstacles, particularly from her family and the governor of the city. After refusing to marry a pagan man, she was denounced as a Christian and persecuted under the Emperor Diocletian.
