SAINT JULIA, martyr. — She is commemorated in the *Martyrologium Hieronymianum* on 22 May as a martyr of Corsica, but it is uncertain whether she was a local martyr or an African martyr who perished during the persecution of Decius, and whose relics were transferred to Corsica.
Divine Judgment — Universal Divine Judgment: Christ the Judge. Painting by Jan Provost (1325) — Bruges, chapel of the Schöffen.
There exists a very legendary *Passio*, written around the 7th century and evidently inspired by a narrative of Theodore of Cyrus (PG 83, 1240), according to which J., a native of Carthage, was captured during a barbarian invasion and sold into slavery. Taken by her master to Gaul, during the journey, while stopping on the Island of Capo Corso (Corsica), she was abducted by the local pagans, and since she refused to renounce the Christian faith, she was scourged and crucified. Her body was later transferred to the Island of Gorgona by some monks and placed in their church. In 763, King Desiderius transported it to the new monastery of Brescia, whose church was consecrated by Pope Paul I.
