Saint Alban was the first British Christian martyr. He lived in Verulamium, today that is Saint Albans In Hertford shire.
He took a Christian priest into his home. The priest converted him to Christianity in the short time he stayed with him. St. Alban, a Roman soldier, then disguised himself as the priest, so the priest could escape. St. Alban was beheaded for his new beliefs.
The stories of St. Alban are a mixture of fact and legend.
St. Alban is a saint of the undivided church, a saint for all Christians. His welcome to a persecuted stranger was a powerful example of courage, compassion and hospitality.
During my research I found that Henritta Elizabeth Marshall wrote story about St. Alban this I have included.
