The Cathedral holds a\u00c2\u00a0small sculpture of Saint Devota, patron saint of Monaco and Corsica, that was presented by Prince Rainier III on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the Grimaldi family .\u00a0 According to legend, Saint Devota was martyred for her faith .\u00a0 Her body was placed in a boat so that it could be taken to Africa for burial .\u00a0 A storm arose, but a dove flew out of Saint Devota’s mouth and guided the boat safely to the shores of Monaco.<\/p>\n
