Juventinus

Holy Martyrs Juventinus and Maximus (or Maximinus) lived in the time of Julian the Apostate (361), and Saint John Chrysostom devoted a speech of praise to them. Once, being at a banquet of soldiers (perhaps because they too were soldiers), they protested during the conversation against the evils the emperor was committing against Christians. Someone told this to Julian, who confiscated the property of the two saints and imprisoned them. Because the prison had become a church through the frequent visits in groups of Christians, who came to hear the words of the two saints and learn, Julian gave an order, and at night, secretly, soldiers went and beheaded them. Their bodies were taken by Christians and buried with due honour. They are commemorated on 12 October, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
