SAINT CRISPIN'S DAY
THE FAVERSHAM SAINTS
A Christian Legend tells
That Crispin and
Crispinian
The Roman Princes,
Saints and shoemakers,
Lived for a short time
During the 3rd century
In the Kent town of
Faversham
The association is
recalled
By a plaque on the
Swan,
In Market Street
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
THE FEAST DAY OF SAINTS CRISPIN AND CRISPINIAN
25th October is the feast day
Of Crispin and Crispinian
Although now removed
From the Universal
Liturgical calendar
Of the Roman Catholic
Church
The Sainted Twins
Are still commemorated
On that day in the
Roman Martyrology
And the feast remains
as a
"Black Letter Saints'
Day"
In the calendar of the
Anglican
Book of Common Prayer
