History
Almost 1800 years ago, three saints
were martyred together. The most famous was Denis, a bishop from Italy. Pope
Saint Clement had sent Denis to France as a missionary along with five other
bishops. Rusticus and Eletherius were the priest and deacon who were Denis’ helpers.
But there were people in that part of France (now the city of Paris) who didn’t
like what Denis had to say. He, Rusticus and Eletherius were captured and
thrown in jail for a long time. Finally, all three of them were beheaded.
Legend says that Denis kept right on preaching about Jesus, picking up his own
head and walking six miles before he finally died.
