St. Julian of Toledo
Feast day: March 8
Birth: 642
Death: 690
Died at Toledo, Spain, in 690. An able and learned monk of Agali under Saint Eugene, Saint Julian succeeded Eugene as abbot and then, in 680, as archbishop of Toledo. Julian was important as a bishop and writer in the history of the Spanish church, which during his episcopate was centralized for the first time at Toledo. In addition to presiding over several national councils, Julian had a strong influence on the development of the Mozarabic rites of public worship, formerly proper to Spain but now all but extinct. Julian is said to have been of Jewish descent, but he presided at a council whose legislation in respect to Jews was ruthless and unjust in the extreme
