Julian the Hospitaller was a saint born around 700 in Le Mans, France. According to traditional accounts, he lived a life marked by a tragic mistake where he accidentally killed his parents, believing his wife was unfaithful. Seeking penance for this sin, he dedicated himself to charitable works and established a hospice to assist travelers and the sick. He is recognized as a saint in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican traditions, and is celebrated on February 12.
