Saint Theognia of Mineo

Biography

Saint Tullia, also known as Tulle, was born as the daughter of Saint Eucherius of Lyon and Galla. She came from a devoutly Christian family, with her siblings also being notable saints - Saint Veranus of Vence, Saint Salonius of Geneva, and Saint Consortia. From a young age, Tullia and her sister were educated in a convent, where they received a comprehensive religious education. They were both deeply influenced by their family's strong faith and commitment to the teachings of Christ. As they grew older, Tullia and her sister felt a calling to a life dedicated to prayer and serving God. Tullia embraced her vocation as a prayerful nun, and dedicated her life to a contemplative existence. Although no other details of her life have come down to us, it is believed that Tullia lived a quiet and humble life within the walls of the convent, devoting herself to God through constant prayer and meditation. Saint Tullia is known to have lived during the Pre-Congregation era, a period in the history of the Catholic Church before the formal canonization process was established. Consequently, she was not officially canonized in the traditional sense, but is recognized and venerated as a saint. Her feast day is celebrated on October 5th. Saint Tullia is honored as the patron saint of the Lower Alps and Manosque, France. Although no specific attributes or representations are assigned to her, her intercession is sought by those who live in the region and by those who turn to her for assistance during times of need. Throughout the centuries, Saint Tullia's memory has been kept alive through the devotion of the faithful. Her example of a life dedicated to prayer and contemplation inspires many to seek a deeper spiritual connection with God. While the historical details may be limited, the impact of her faith continues to resonate with believers, reminding them of the importance of living a life rooted in the love of God.
