St. Julia

Saint Julia was a virgin martyr of the 5th century who is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. According to tradition, she was a noblewoman from Carthage who was captured by Vandals and sold into slavery. Despite her circumstances, Julia remained steadfast in her Christian faith. She was eventually martyred for refusing to participate in pagan rituals. Her relics were later moved to the island of Corsica, where she became the island's patron saint. Julia is remembered for her unwavering faith, purity, and courage in the face of persecution.

Feast Day is on May 23.
