In Corsica, at the beginning of the 4th century, the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered a violent persecution against the Christians. Among the victims was a young Christian woman, Dévote, who was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. She died without ever renouncing her faith. After her death, the governor ordered to burn her body, but some Christians managed to save it and placed it on a boat bound for Africa, where she could receive a proper Christian burial.
