Life

The Holy Martyrs Publius and Companions were a group of martyrs of North Africa, commemorated together. Orthodox England gives the names Publius, Julian and Marcellus and does not say when they suffered. This Publius is not to be confused with Saint Publius, the first Bishop of Malta. They are venerated as saints of the undivided Church and are commemorated on 19 February (new calendar).

Commemorated the same day February 19
