Who was Juventinus and Maximinus?
Saint Juventinus or Juventius was a member of the imperial guard of Emperor Julian.
Before starting his campaign against the Sassanid Empire, Julian issued an edict that prohibited the veneration of the relics in Antioch. Juventius and his colleague Maximinus protested against this edict, even when brought in front of their Emperor. Julian had them stripped of their properties and beheaded, according to Roman Martyrology. Saint John Chrysostom wrote their eulogy.
Both saints have 25 January as feast day.
