Saint Heron And Other Black Saints You Probably Never Heard Of
St. Julian and Basilissa
St. Julian and Basilissa were married but choose to live a life of chastity together. Opening up their home, the couple used all of their money to help the sick. They converted their home to a hospital, which could hold up to 1,000 patients. Basilissa would tend to the sick women in one part of the house while her husband would minister to the men in another part. While his wife died a holy death years before him, Julian was martyred after he was beheaded.
