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.
‘Saint Alban suffered during the reign of Diocletian. He gave shelter to a Christian priest. He gave himself up in his place. He died near the city of Verulamium.’ (St Bede, Ecclesiastical History) pic.twitter.com/a42zi3r7SE
