The Righteous Juliana Lazarevskaya of Murom was the daughter of the nobleman Justin Nedyurov. From a young age, she led a pious life, strictly fasting and dedicating much time to prayer. After becoming an orphan, Juliana endured mockery from her relatives, but continued to care for the sick and sewed clothes for the poor. Her virtuous life attracted the attention of the owner of the village of Lazarevo, Yuri Osoryin, who soon married her. Juliana managed the household without interrupting her spiritual endeavors, and during times of famine, she gave the last piece of food to those in need. During an epidemic, she completely devoted herself to caring for the sick.
Juliana had six sons and a daughter. After the death of two sons, she wished to enter a monastery, but her husband persuaded her to stay for the sake of raising their children. According to her son Callistratus Osoryin, she intensified her fasting and prayer, sleeping no more than two hours, resting her head on a log.
After her husband's death, Juliana distributed her inheritance to the poor and, living in poverty, remained cheerful and thanked the Lord. She was honored with a visit from Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and received guidance from the Mother of God during her prayers in the temple. After her death, she was buried next to her husband in the church of Saint Lazarus, where her daughter, Schema-nun Theodosia, is also buried. In 1614, her relics were discovered, exuding fragrant myrrh, from which many received healing.
