Life

Justina is a virgin martyr of Arzano, commemorated on 13 July and patroness of the town together with Saint Agrippinus. According to a late tradition she lived at Trieste and refused marriage; the rejected suitor denounced her as a Christian, arrows did not harm her, and she was finally beheaded, in the year 286, under the consul Fabian. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
