Saint Julian and Basilissa were a 4th-century Christian couple from Antinoë, Egypt, celebrated as martyrs during the Diocletian persecution (c. 303–304). Born into wealth, they married but chose a life of chastity, dedicating themselves to God and caring for the sick and poor. When persecution struck, Julian founded a hospital for men, and Basilissa one for women, converting many through their charity—including their jailer Marcellus during their imprisonment. After Basilissa’s death (likely by burning), Julian endured further tortures, converting his executioner Celsus and others before his own martyrdom, traditionally by beheading or burning. Their story, though embellished in medieval hagiographies like the *Golden Legend*, underscores their faith and unity. | Saint Julian and Basilissa were a 4th-century Christian couple from Antinoë, Egypt, celebrated as martyrs during the Diocletian persecution (c. 303–304).
