What is today, June 14, a church holiday

June 14th in the church calendar commemoration of the philosopher Justin. He was born into a noble Greek family and lived in the II century. He received a good education and traveled frequently to broaden his horizons. Justin decided to understand the basic meaning of Christianity in order to get closer to God. And all because the religion of the pagans did not satisfy his needs.

For a long time I was looking for a teacher Justin and, finally, I met an old man who advised him to study the sacred books. Since then, the philosopher began to read the prophetic and apostolic teachings, subsequently even being baptized. Traveling throughout the Roman Empire, Justin preached the Word of God and defended Christians. For this he was seized, tortured for a long time, and then beheaded.
