Feast of St. Julian of Antioch

St. Julian was a 4th Century martyr (he died some time around 305 A.D.), one of the many killed during "The Age of Martyrs" of the reign of Diocletian, who died around the same time. Legend has it that St. Julian was tortured for a year before being tied in a sack full of scorpions and poisonous snakes and then thrown in the sea.
