His life is described in Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda aurea and contains elements of the Oedipus saga and the legends of Saints Eustachius and Christophorus . Julian is said to have unknowingly killed his parents and to have made a pilgrimage to Rome as a penance . Then Julian settled on a river either in Italy ( Potenza near Macerata ) or in French Provence ( Gard ) and ran a hostel for pilgrims there . He is also said to have cared for the sick and took travelers to the other bank of the river by ferry .
