Part of what makes The Conjuring Universe so captivating is that it is inspired by “true stories” based on the accounts of the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren, who have investigated several paranormal occurrences. That being said, events veered a bit when the side character known as Valak was introduced in The Conjuring 2. As demonic figures go within this cinematic universe, Valak rates as the main antagonist, responsible for numerous hauntings throughout the series. Beyond that, its motivations are actually tied to a historical Christian martyr: Saint Lucy.
Introduced to fans in The Nun II, Saint Lucy was one of the virgin martyrs and one of the most well-known female martyrs in the present day. The film glossed over a good deal of her life, what traditional stories make of it at any rate, in favor of turning her into a powerful figure, whose eyes Valak coveted for its own nefarious purposes. Valak may have been thwarted, but the mystery surrounding Saint Lucy is still responsible for tying many Conjuring movies together. To better understand her relevance to the plot, it is necessary to know the records about the historical Saint Lucy.
Now, it is important to remember that the history of this particular saint is told over the course of centuries. There are variations of her story as time passed, and in all likelihood, some details were simply lost to time. Most sources tend to tell the same story overall. The first records of Saint Lucy, or Lucia of Syracuse, as was her proper name, first came from the fifth-century Acts of Martyrs. Born in 283 A.D., Lucia was born to noble and wealthy parents of Roman and Greek descent. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Lucia’s father passed away when she was only five, leaving her and her mother without a guardian.
