Venerable Julian which is in Dagouta

Venerable Julian which is in Dagouta (Feast Day - June 12)

Verses

Julian, the great Father is buried,
Arriving in the grave at the threshold of his days.

Venerable Julian met his end in peace.

Dagouta seems to be the place where Venerable Julian had a church dedicated to him. It is variously spelled in sources, such as Dagazou, Dagatou, and Dagouti. Some place the location of this church in Constantinople, probably near the Church of Saint Anastasia and the Hippodrome.

However, Dagouta is placed by Ptolemy in Greater Mysia. Constantine Porphyrogennitos places in the interior of Bithynia a people Dagotthenoi, connecting them with the Mysian Olympos and with Prousa. He, however, conceives that the Dagotthenoi live between Olympos and the sea, towards Prousa. This situation is not consistent with Ptolemy, who has, however, very hazy ideas about Dagouta, and cannot rank so high as an authority in this case. Furthermore, Mount Dagouta in Bithynia is a place where ascetics dwelled.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
