Venerable Julian the Hermit of Mesopotamia
Saint Julian the Hermit of Mesopotamia lived an ascetic life of fasting and prayer near the River Euphrates.
Once,
as he was praying, he heard a voice saying that the emperor Julian the
Apostate would soon perish. Soon the prophecy was fulfilled. Through the
efforts of Saint Julian, a church was built on Mount Sinai in memory of
the obtaining of the tablets of the Law by the holy Prophet Moses on
the spot where Moses was standing when he received the tablets.
