Life

Holy Martyr Juliana of Rosson suffered in the time of the Emperor Maximian Galerius (305-311), together with Saint Kyriene of Tarsus. The Church commemorates them on 14 November (new style).

The holy martyrs Kyriene of Tarsus and Juliana of Rhosus were seized for confessing the Christian faith by the governor of Cilicia, Marcian. Saint Kyriene, stripped and with her head shorn, was led for mockery around the city of Tarsus. Then she was taken together with Saint Juliana to the city of Rhosus, where they were burned.
