Santa Juliana de Mont

Santa Juliana de Mont was a 13th-century Augustinian nun from Liège, Belgium, known for her deep devotion to the Eucharist. She is credited with initiating the celebration of Corpus Christi after advocating for a feast dedicated to the Holy Sacrament, which was officially established by Pope Urban IV in 1264 following a miraculous event that reinforced the belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Her legacy continues to influence Catholic liturgical practices surrounding the celebration of the Eucharist.
