Saint Juliana of Liège O.Praem. (also called Juliana of Mount-Cornillon) (c. 1192 or 1193 – 1258) was a medieval Norbertine canoness regular and mystic in what is now Belgium. Traditional scholarly sources have long recognized her as the promoter of the Feast of Corpus Christi first celebrated in Liège in 1246 and later adopted for the universal church in 1264.
