Saint martyr Julian was born in the Egyptian city of Antinoe and, by the will of his parents, entered into marriage with the noble maiden Vasilissa. In their marriage, the spouses remained virgins. After the death of their parents, they established two monasteries: one for men and one for women, and they themselves took monastic vows and became the abbots. During the reign of Diocletian in 313, Saint Julian suffered cruelly for the faith of Christ, converting to Christ Kelsius, the son of his torturer, the governor Marcian, and his wife Marionilla. By resurrecting a deceased pagan, the saint also converted him. The converts received Baptism from the presbyter Anthony, and the pagan was named Anastasius in Baptism. After imprisonment, all received the martyr's crown, being beheaded by the sword. Along with them, 20 warriors and 7 youths suffered martyrdom.
