Commemorated on February 6
The Holy Martyr Julian was a native of the Phoenician city of Emesa,
and he suffered in the year 312 under the emperor Maximian. He was a
skilled physician, and healed illnesses not only of the body but also of
the soul, and he converted many people to faith in Christ the Savior.
When
they led away the holy Martyrs Bishop Silvanus, Deacon Luke and the
Reader Mocius (February 29) to be eaten by wild beasts, Julian
encouraged them and urged them not to fear death for the Lord. He was
also arrested and put to death. His head, hands and feet were pierced
with long nails.
TROPARION - TONE 4
Your holy martyr Julian, O Lord, / through his suffering has received an
incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he
laid low his adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of
demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
