Life
Holy Martyr Liberianus was among those who received the crown of martyrdom at Rome together with Saint Justin the Philosopher. He is commemorated on 1 June (new style), alongside Justus, Chariton, Charito the virgin, Euelpistus, Hierax and Paeon.
They lived under Emperor Marcus Aurelius, among the Christians of Rome. They confessed Christ many times and were condemned to be beheaded; they met death calmly and joyfully, in hope of the heavenly good things. Some sources give his name as Valerian. Saint Justin the Philosopher, their companion in martyrdom, is commemorated on the same day.
