H.] LUCINA, Roman matron, “ discipula apo- stolorum,” martyr at Rome; commemorated June 30 (Usuard. Mart.; Vet. Rom. Mart.; Acta SS. June, v. 533). [C. H.] LUCINA. In the Diumum Romanum, i. 7, c. 17, we find : “ Sed dispensator qui pro tempore fuerit in eadem venerabili diaconia {i.e. quando lucina perficitur in eadem Diaconia pro remis- sione peccatorum nostrorum), omnes diaconites et pauperes Christi, qui ibidem conveniunt Kyrie eleison exclamare studeant.” Ducange sup- poses lucina here either to be synonymous with LiiOerna, the lamplighting, or to be a mistake for Litania. But in another instance that he quote.s, “ quantum vix in undecim lucinis laborare poterant,” where he supposes it to mean simply ‘days,’ it would be more natural to take it for some special occasion of busy labour. Whether a great baptism da}, or a great almsgiving day, or what else might be meant by it, and whether the name be taken from the church of San Lorenzo in Lucina, or the church named from the office, must be matters of pure conjecture.
