Life
They all suffered around the year 300. First they were tortured and then beheaded. Before his death, Saint Julian prayed to God thus: "To those who take of my dust, grant them, O Lord, forgiveness of sins and the quenching of passions; let not harmful birds, nor locusts, nor caterpillars, nor any other kind of destructive plague attack their fields; and receive my spirit in peace."
