Jucunda

Holy Martyr Jucunda died a martyr at Nicomedia (today İzmit in Turkey), in a Roman persecution of the third century, according to tradition.

Very little is known of her life. The Roman Martyrology names her, together with Saint Julia, as a companion of a martyr Felix of Nola, probably the bishop Felix of Nola; older sources, however, connect both with the martyr Januaria of Nicomedia. Her commemoration is kept on 27 July in the Western calendar. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in the West, without synodal canonization.
