The Holy Martyrs Justin, Chariton, Euelepistus, Hierax, Peon, Liverianus and Justus
(June 1)

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net These all suffered in Rome in the time of Marcus Aurelius and the Eparch Rusticus. When Rusticus asked: `Do you think that, if you die for Christ, you will receive a reward in heaven?', Justin replied: `We do not think it; we know!' They were all then beheaded, in 163, and went to the Kingdom of Christ our God.
