Martyrs Juventinus and Maximus at Antioch
Martyrs Juventinus and Maximus at Antioch were bodyguards of
the emperor Julian the Apostate (361-363). Having arrived in Antioch,
the emperor gave orders to sprinkle all the foodstuffs in the
marketplace and the water in the wells with blood offered to idols. Sts
Juventinus and Maximus opposed this edict, and Julian ordered them
executed.
