Feast day: October 25
Sts. Crispin & Crispinian
By tradition two brothers, noble Romans, who fled to Gaul, preached the Gospel while supporting themselves as shoemakers, and were martyred for the faith.
Their feast is the 'St. Crispin's Day' of Shakespeare's Henry V — the date of the English victory at Agincourt and the king's 'band of brothers' speech.
