March 17 ^th (March 4 ^th Old Calendar)

Brother and sister from Ptolemais in Phoenicia, the holy martyrs Paul and Juliana were cruelly tortured for Christ under the Emperor Aurelian and were finally beheaded. Many marvels attended their martyrdom and many of the pagans, seeing them, were brought to the Faith. Several of them were beheaded in 273 and received martyrs' crowns.
