Saint Juliana of Lazarevo
Righteous wife & mother
Russia · 16th–17th centuries
Feast day: January 2

A life of faith
Juliana lived her faith within the responsibilities of marriage, motherhood, and a household. She cared for the sick and shared resources with people in need. Her response to famine shows how family life and generous service can belong to the same Christian calling.
The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.
