Life
Holy Martyr Julian the Podagric was a Christian sick with gout (podagra), who could neither stand nor walk. He was brought on a stretcher before the court for his faith in Christ and burned alive on a pyre, together with his disciple Cronion, in the time of the Emperor Decius, at Alexandria. The Serbian Church commemorates him on 27 February by the old calendar (12 March by the new).
