The name Julia in the Orthodox Christian tradition sounds like Julia. Therefore, all Yul who want to receive holy baptism during the sacrament are called the names displayed in the calendar - that is, Julia.
There are two Christian saints named Julia. The dates for the commemoration of these saints are marked in the church calendar under May 31 and July 29. Accordingly, these are the dates when Julia celebrate their name days.
On the last day of May, the Christian Church commemorates the feat of St. Julia of Ankyra, also called Corinth. This saint became famous for the great deed of martyrdom. She was one of several pious virgins who suffered in the 3rd century in Ankyra (a city located in the ancient Galatian region).
The holy martyrs were forced to wash the idols on the pagan holiday of the same name, thereby expressing their respect and faith to the pagan gods. The holy virgins refused, for which they were drowned with stones tied around their necks.
The dates of the life of the holy Martyr Julia of Carthage (Comm. 29 July) are not precisely known. It is customary to speak of two dates of the death of the martyr - 440 or 613.
The holy martyr was from a noble Carthaginian family. During the capture of the city by foreigners, Julia was sold into slavery to a Syrian merchant. For her humility and meekness, as well as obedience in the performance of assigned tasks, Julia gained the respect of her master.
Once Julia, together with a merchant, went on business to the island of Corsica. The merchant got off the ship, but the pious maiden did not go ashore. In Corsica, the lord of Julia took part in a pagan festival of idol worship, during which the Syrian was drunk.
Saint Julia grieved over the wickedness of her master and spent her time on the ship in prayer. The pagans, who learned about the pious virgin, in the absence of the merchant, decided to take revenge on the righteous woman for her piety. They broke into the ship and brutally mocked Julia: they beat her, tore her hair and cut her body. Then the holy martyr was crucified.
In the 8th century, the relics of the holy martyr were transferred to Brescia, to the women's monastery founded there.
