Almighty God, by whose grace and power thy holy martyr Alban triumphed over suffering and was faithful even unto death: Grant to us, who now remember him with thanksgiving, to be so faithful in our witness to thee in this world, that we may receive with him the crown of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
June 20 is the feast day of St. Alban (†303), the first Christian martyr in Britain. He was a citizen of Verulam, converted by a persecuted priest whom he had sheltered in his house. He was executed on Holmhurst Hill. pic.twitter.com/TPCdjxDvqp
