St. Julian, Bishop of Kenomany, was ordained a priest by the Apostle Peter. According to legend, before his ordination, his name was Simon - he was a leper from Bethany, who was healed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Mk.14:3), who received the name Julian in Baptism. The Apostle Peter sent Saint Julian to preach the gospel in Gaul. He arrived in Kinomania and settled in a small hut outside the city, and began his preaching among the pagans. The idolaters at first distrusted him, but the saint's preaching was accompanied by great miracles.
