“and when they were at a Mass, one read a gospel that made mention of a woman who was healed of the dysentery by touching of the hem of the coat of Jesus Christ, which convinced her mother to pray together at Saint Agatha’s tomb. They stayed up all night praying, until they fell asleep, exhausted. Saint Agatha appeared in a vision to Lucy and said, ‘Soon you shall be the glory of Syracuse, as I am of Catania.’ At that instant Eutychiaea was cured.”

Its modern day celebration is generally associated with Sweden and Norway but is also observed in Europe countries. In the United States it is celebrated with cookies on the mantel in states for a large number of people of Scandinavian ancestry, often centered around church events.
