Saint Julitta was a Christian martyr who lived during the early 4th century. Born in Konya, she was a wealthy widow who converted to Christianity. While attempting to flee religious persecution with her young son, Cyricus, and two handmaidens, she was apprehended in Tarsus. According to tradition, she and her child were executed during the persecutions under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. She is remembered alongside her son as a symbol of steadfast faith in the face of imperial oppression.
