Saint Devota's Day is a public holiday in Monaco on January 27 yearly. The holiday is in honor of the patron saint of Monaco, Saint Devota.
Saint Devota was born in Mariana, Corsica, around 283 AD and decided to devote herself to God when she was young. However, she was imprisoned and tortured because of her faith and was martyred by being stoned to death in 303 AD.
The governor ordered his soldiers to burn her body after her death, but it was saved by Christians and was placed on a boat to Africa. When a storm threatened the boat, a dove appeared and guided the boat to today's Monaco. A chapel was built on her grave, becoming the parish church in 1887.
