Eufemija je bila djevojka iz Grčke, u 3. stoljeću, koja se preobratila na kršćanstvo. Prema starom vjerovanju, postala je mučenicom cara Dioklecijana pošto je propovijedala vjeru koja tada nije bila prihvaćena. Time potican, Dioklecijan ju je bacio među lavove na milost i nemilost, no ona biva spašena silaskom anđela sa neba, bez ijednog ugriza. Ovim čudom Eufemija je nakon svoje smrti, koja je, prozavana sveticom i mučenicom kršćanstva. Njezine relikvije čuvale su se u različitim zemljama u različito vrijeme. Ovdje nastaje druga legenda o čudu, iz 18. Stoljeća, koja nam govori kako je njen teški kameni sarkofag zajedno sa relikvijama, morem od Carigrada doplovio do grada Rovinja, gdje su ga njegovi stanovnici pomoću životinja odvukli na mjesto tadašnje crkve Svetog Jurja, koja postaje Eufremijinim hramom i vječnim počivalištem vidljivim i danas. Sveta Eufemija je također i zaštitnica grada Rovinja, čiji se dan obilježava 16. rujna. Mnogi posjetitelji upravo tada dolaze u Rovinj, na sveto hodočašće kako bi joj odali počast.

The art work at the church was eye catching with great imaginations from the artist. I loved staring at the walls of the paintings and mosaics. The environment at the church was spectacular that showed the wonderful landscape of the area. The church building was beautiful and had a tower that we climbed up and enjoyed the breathtaking views. A place worth the visit.

This baroque church is located on a hill and has a magnificent interior. I loved seeing its ancient Roman paintings and statues that date back to the 15th century. This church contains the relics of St. Euphemia. The statue of St. Euphemia is located at the top of the tower. The peace and quietness of this place was just fascinating.

Attending the celebrations of St. Euphemia held in this church lighted a traditional and cultural spark within me. I was awed witnessing how the congregants were dedicated in honoring their beliefs and culture.
