Highlighted Saint
St. Juliana of Nicodemia

Feast Day is Feb. 16th

Martyr: Early in the 4th Century, during the persecutions of Dioceltian, this young woman suffered martyrdom. According to legend, her family forced her into a marriage with a pagan, but she denied him, intending to convert him. Her husband, however, had her locked up and called on her to adjure her faith. While she was in prison the devil pestered her, trying to get her to obey her husband, and she struck him with her chains. In the end she was beheaded.

In art, she is often depicted with a winged devil or dragon near her or chained to her feet. She is invoked against contagious diseases.

Patroness of The Catholic View for Women
