Life
Saint Lleuci (Lucia), virgin and martyr, is the patron of the churches of Bettws Leuci and Llanwnen in Cardiganshire and Abernant in Carmarthenshire. The dedications are medieval, not ancient. Nothing is known of her; the author connects her with Lucia, one of the companions of Saint Ursula, martyred at Cologne, whose feast there is 23 November, though the local feast falls on 13 December, the day of Saint Lucy of Syracuse. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
