Life
Holy Martyr Justus was a pagan Roman soldier. Once, through a revelation from above, he saw the life-giving Cross of the Lord, then believed in Christ, distributed all his property to the poor and, entrusting himself to the will of God, began a new life. The pagans seized him and brought him to trial, where he boldly confessed the true faith. For this he was terribly tortured and then burned in fire. The blessed man's body remained incorrupt. The Church of Georgia commemorates him on 14 July (old style; 27 July new style).
