"Kop-Chu'u" ("The Hunchback")

Saint Lucy Kim "Kop-Ch'u" was a Catholic Korean when that was not so acceptable.  She married a pagan who would not allow her to practice her faith.  She was compelled to separate from him.  Other Catholic families took her in and she worked here and there to support herself.  She cleaned houses, took care of children, nursed the sick.  Lucy was over seventy years old when she was arrested for being Catholic by Korean's pagan regime.  Lucy's life (c. 1768-1839).  Even in prison, Lucy ministered to ill prisoners. Lucy looked forward to dyeing for God.  She was beaten and ill and died in prison, with the names of Jesus and Mary, on her lips.
