Life
Holy Martyr Julian of Samosata suffered in the year 297, in the persecution of Diocletian (284-305), together with Romanus, James, Philotheus, Hyperichius, Abibus and Parigorius. The Church commemorates him on 11 February (new style).
The seven suffered in the Syrian city of Samosata, on the Euphrates. They fearlessly showed the folly of idol worship and were seized and given over to various harsh torments. Their bodies were scraped with iron, with heavy iron chains hung at their necks, then they were shut in prison, and at last hanged, their heads nailed to a cross.
