'''Saint Devota''' (Corsican: '''Santa Devota'''; French: '''Sainte Dévote'''; died c. 303 AD) is the patron saint of Monaco and Corsica, venerated as a 3rd–4th-century virgin martyr under the Diocletianic Persecution.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04757b.htm |title=St. Devota |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> According to hagiographic tradition preserved in the 14th-century Monégasque legend and earlier Corsican oral accounts, Devota was a young Christian native of Mariana (modern Lucciana) on Corsica who was arrested, tortured, and executed for her faith; after death, her body was placed in a boat destined for Africa by the governor to prevent Christian burial, but a storm miraculously guided the vessel to the coast of present-day Monaco, where it was discovered by fishermen and buried in a ravine that became the site of the principality’s first chapel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.monaco-montecarlo.com/en/culture-religion/sainte-devote/ |title=Sainte Dévote |publisher=Monaco Tourism |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> | '''Saint Devota''' (Corsican: '''Santa Devota'''; French: '''Sainte Dévote'''; died c. 303 AD) is the patron saint of Monaco and Corsica, venerated as a 3rd–4th-century virgin martyr under the Diocletianic Persecution.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04757b.htm |title=St. Devota |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> According to hagiographic tradition preserved in the 14th-century Monégasque legend and earlier Corsican oral accounts, Devota was a young Christian native of Mariana (modern Lucciana) on Corsica who was arrested, tortured, and executed for her faith; after death, her body was placed in a boat destined for Africa by the governor to prevent Christian burial, but a storm miraculously guided the vessel to the coast of present-day Monaco, where it was discovered by fishermen and buried in a ravine that became the site of the principality’s first chapel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.monaco-montecarlo.com/en/culture-religion/sainte-devote/ |title=Sainte Dévote |publisher=Monaco Tourism |access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> | ||
