strictly speaking the feast day doesnt fori until june 22 but the feeling among parish ioners of st alban is that with holiday beginning to set in it would be better to keep the feast as early as possible al ban is a colorful figure in the calendar of saints and some of the color is due to the imagin ation of the early historians of saints when st augustine arrived in britain in the early part of the seventh century he found to his surprise and dismay it should be added that there were signs of a primitive form of christianity already present in the country these were the signs of what historians now describe as celtic christiani ty i whan hadrian built his pro tective wall across britain ear lier in 117 ad there were pro bably christians among the romans and slaves then living in britain tertulllan a great writer of the primitive chris tian church in an article ag ainst the jews in the year 208 mentions that there were christians in britain already so the history of christianity in britain goes back even to that period when the new tes tament scriptures were still c being written i johns gospel may not have been written un til nearly the middle of the second century while christianity was still in its infancy it was persecut ed by several roman emper ors under decian the martyr dom of christians spread ac ross europe and into britain scholars dispute the actual year of albans martyrdom but one school maintains he died under the fist of decian in mid third century he vws beheaded outside the city of verulam in mistake for a christian priest pursued by the roman authorities while the priest was given shelter at albans home alban was converted to the christian faith as the roman military police approached alban in sisted that the priest change clothes with him and so was taken by mistake refusing to renounce his new found faith he was ordered executed by the angry governor when the error had been disclosed following a special celebra tion
