The saint behind the name
Justin the Philosopher
June 1, Martyr, Ιουστίνος
St. Justin the Philosopher and Martyr was born in Palestine and lived in the second century. Seeking truth through the schools of the philosophers, he found it at last in Christ, and thereafter wore the philosopher's cloak in the service of the Gospel. In Rome he wrote his celebrated Apologies, defending the Christians before the emperors and describing the baptism and Eucharist of the early Church.
