Saint Maurice

Note:
"According to legend Saint Maurice was a commander of one of the Roman army’s Theban legions in the third century AD. While serving in what is now Switzerland with other Roman troops engaged in fighting the much feared Gauls, Maurice and his soldiers, all converts to Christianity, refused to take part in pagan Roman practices. Emperor Maximianus Hercules’ response was to execute the entire legion in AD 287." Esther Schreuder and to know more Click Here
