CRISPIN AND CRISPINIAN

 

Born to a noble Roman family

In the 3rd century AD,

Crispin and Crispinian,

Persecuted for their faith,

Fled their homeland

And travelled to Gaul

And preached Christianity

To the Gaul’s in Soissons.

They made shoes by night

To support themselves

And also aided the poor

But their evangelical success

Brought them to the attention

Of a jealous Rictus Varus,

Governor of Belgic Gaul,

Who brought their good works

To a savage end
