This article appears in Volume V15, Page 792 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILIAN (CHILIAN, KILLIAN), ST , British missionary
bishop
  and the apostle of eastern Franconia, where he began his labours towards the end of the 7th century. There are several
biographies
  of him, the first of which
dates
  back to the 9th century (Bibliotheca hagiographica
latina
 , Nos. 466o4663). The oldest texts which refer to him are an 8th century
necrology
  at Wurzburg and the notice by Hrabanus Maurus in his martyrology. According to Maurus
Kilian
  was a native of Ireland, whence with his companions he went to eastern Franconia. After having preached the gospel in Wurzburg, the whole party were put to death by the orders of an unjust judge named Gozbert. It is difficult to fix the period with precision, as the judge (or duke) Gozbert is not known through other sources.
Kilian
 's comrades, Coloman and Totman, were, according to the Wurzburg
necrology
 , respectively priest and deacon. The
elevation
  of the relics of the three martyrs was performed by Burchard, the first
bishop
  of Wurzburg, and they are venerated in the
cathedral
  of that town. His festival is celebrated on the 8th of July.
See Acta Sanctorum, Julii, ii. 599619; F. Emmerich, Der heilige Kilian (Wurzburg, 1896) ; J. O'Hanlon, Lives of the Irish Saints, vii. 122143 (Dublin, 18751904); A. Hauck, Kirchengeschichte Deutsch-lands, 3rd ed., i. 382 seq. (H. DE.)
