SAINT JULIAN OF EGYPT AND COMPANIONS

St. Julian of Egypt
Julian of Egypt and Companions

Feast day: February 16

Death: unknown



Martyr of Egypt, reportedly with five thousand companions, most likely during the persecutions by the Roman Empire. The traditional number of martyrs may be a mistranslation: the original account may denote five soldiers, instead of five thousand.

 It is said that this Saint Julian was the leader of 5,000 martyrs who suffered in Egypt.
