ON ST. JULIANA, ROMAN VIRGIN AND MARTYR, AT BOLOGNA IN ITALY.
Commentary
Juliana, Roman Virgin and Martyr, at Bologna in Italy (St.)
G. H.
[1] There is at Bologna a certain parish church dedicated to Sts. Nabor and Felix, commonly called the Abbey, which Benedictine monks possessed from the year 1300 to 1510. It was then given to nuns of St. Clare, as Masinus relates in his survey of Bologna for the twelfth of July. In this church, on the sixteenth of February, the office of St. Juliana, Roman Virgin and Martyr, is celebrated with solemn worship, and her sacred body is preserved there, donated to that church by Gregory XV, a native of Bologna. The same Masinus treats of that donation and veneration on this same day, on which the other Juliana of Nicomedia is also venerated.
