Martyrs known only from the Greek Synaxaria: Galaction was drowned in the sea, and his wife Juliania and their son Saturninus were burned at the stake; the time and place of their martyrdom are unknown.
The Martyrs Galaction and Juliania are commemorated by the Russian Orthodox Church on 22 June (5 July New Style). Very little is known about them: the Orthodox Encyclopedia states that the time and place of their martyrdom are unknown.
According to the Greek Synaxaria, Galaction was drowned in the sea for confessing Christ together with the Martyr Pompianus, while his wife Juliania and their son Saturninus were burned at the stake. In Constantinople there was once a church dedicated to these martyrs near the church of St Euphemia in the Petrion quarter, where their feast was kept and their relics were preserved.
