Saint Julia of Corsica, also known as Saint Julia of Carthage, and more rarely Saint Julia of Nonza, was a virgin martyr who is venerated as a Christian saint. The date of her death is most probably on or after 439 AD. She, along with Saint Devota, are the patron saints of Corsica in the Roman Catholic church. Saint Julia was declared a patroness of Corsica by the church on August 5, 1809; Saint Devota, on March 14, 1820. Both were martyred in pre- Christian Corsica under Roman rule. Julia's feast day is May 22 in the Roman Catholic calendar. Saint Julia is included in most summary lives of the saints. The details of those lives vary, but a few basic accounts emerge, portraying biographical data and events that are not reconcilable. Various theories accounting for the differences have been proposed. The quintessential icon of Saint Julia derives from the testimony of Victor Vitensis, contemporaneous Bishop of Africa.
