Life
Venerable Julian Saba (Julian Sabas) was a hermit who lived mostly in the deserts of Syria and left his cell for a short time to denounce the Arian heresy at Antioch, in the time of Emperor Valens, when the true faith seemed almost lost there. He died in 377. He is commemorated on 18 October (new style) in the Orthodox Church, and on 14 January in the Roman Church.
The Roman Martyrology says that by the power of his miracles he re-established the Catholic faith in Antioch. He was a great protector of Christians persecuted by Emperor Julian and then by the Arians.
