Life

Holy Martyr Justin is commemorated on 1 June (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, in a company of martyrs of Antioch: Gerasimus, Thespesius, Justin, Justus, Neon and Firmus, who suffered under the emperor Decius together with a great multitude of other martyrs.

The source says nothing of his earlier life or of the torments he endured. On the same day the Church also commemorates Holy Martyr Justin the Philosopher, who is a different saint and should not be confused with this one.
