Known for his *First Apology* and *Second Apology*, addressed to Emperor Antoninus Pius, and his *Dialogue with Trypho*, he articulated Christian doctrine using philosophical terms, bridging faith and reason. Arrested in [[Rome]] for his faith, he was beheaded under Emperor Marcus Aurelius around 165. Canonized through pre-Congregation processes, his feast day is [[June 1]] in the [[Roman Catholic]] Church and [[Eastern Orthodox]] Church, and April 14 in the Anglican Communion.<ref name="CatholicEncyclopedia">{{cite web |title=St. Justin Martyr |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08580c.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref><ref name="Wikipedia">{{cite web |title=Justin Martyr |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Martyr |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref> | '''Saint Justin Martyr''' (c. 100 – c. 165) was an early Christian [[Saints|saint]], philosopher, and apologist whose writings defended Christianity against pagan and Jewish critics.
