Life
Saint Junilla, a native of Cappadocia, is commemorated on 17 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Turbo the notary.
They are unknown to the synaxaria and menaia. Their names appear in a codex of Grottaferrata. They suffered martyrdom in Cappadocia, where they came from, beside Saint Neonilla and her three grandsons (16 January). Junilla threw her infant from her arms, confessed Christ, and was beheaded. Turbo smashed the idols and proclaimed that he was a Christian; he was seized and beheaded too.
