The veneration of Saint Juliana of Nicomedia became very widespread, especially in the Netherlands.
She became known as the patron saint of sickness.

At the beginning of the 13th century her remains were transferred to Naples.
The description of this translation by a contemporary writer is still extant.
The feast of the saint is celebrated in the Latin Church on 16 February, in the Greek on 21 December.

Since her Acts describe the conflicts which she is said to have with the devil, she is represented in pictures with a winged devil whom she leads by a chain.
She is also shown enduring various tortures or fighting a dragon.

St. Juliana is the subject of an Anglo-Saxon poem, believed to have been written by Cynewulf in the eighth century.
