Saint Julian the Hospitaller was a noble layman who was a counselor to the King and was married to a wealthy widow. It was predicted that he would one day kill his parents. Tormented by this he moved far away to prevent such a horror. Returning to his own home one day after a journey, and through a fateful chain of events, the prediction occured. He went to Rome for penance to seek absolution for killing his parents. On his return home he built a Hospice on a river bed where he cared for the poor and sick and assisted travelers to cross the river for free. For more about this saint, please click on the image.
