The Holy Martyr Julian of Tarsus.
The holy Martyr Julian, who was born to a pagan father and a Christian mother, was from Cilicia, confessed the Christian Faith before the proconsul Marcian, and was perfected in martyrdom at the age of eighteen, when he was put into a sack with sand and venomous serpents and cast into the sea. Saint John Chrysostom has a homily in his honor (PG 50:665–676).
