_______________The Friday Collect
Grant that we, walk-
ing
in the
way
of
the cross,
may find it none other
than the way of life and peace.
*Alban, circa 304, was a Roman soldier, the first Christian we know by name in Britian, and the first martyr. Alban shielded a Christian priest in his home who was who was fleeing per-secution. He was converted to Chirst by the man's exapmle and when the soldiers came
for the priest, Alban, who had exchanged clothes with him, was taken in the priest’s place. When this was discovered, they
demanded that he renounce his faith.
Alban refused and was put to death.
