St. Amphibalus

St. Amphibalus is a Christian martyr and saint from the early Church, venerated for his role in spreading Christianity in Britain and his steadfast faith under persecution.

St. Amphibalus was a Christian missionary and martyr, believed to have been active in Britain during the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. Little is known about his early life, and much of his story comes from tradition and historical speculation. He is most commonly associated with the region of St. Albans in England.

St. Amphibalus is said to have been a priest who helped St. Alban, the first British martyr, in his Christian faith. When Alban was arrested and sentenced to death for his Christian beliefs, Amphibalus is believed to have hidden him and provided spiritual guidance. According to legend, St. Amphibalus was eventually captured by Roman soldiers during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Diocletian.

Although the details of his life are vague, it is believed that St. Amphibalus was martyred for his Christian faith, likely by beheading, and was remembered as a hero of the early Christian Church in Britain. His story is intertwined with that of St. Alban, and some traditions suggest that he too was martyred in the city of Verulamium (modern-day St. Albans).

His feast day is celebrated on July 25, commemorating his martyrdom and his contribution to the spread of Christianity in Britain.
