CRISPIN and CRISPINIAN, the See also:patron See also:saints of shoemakers, whose festival is celebrated on the 25th of See also:October. Their See also:history is largely legendary, and there exists no trace of it earlier than the 8th See also:century. It is said that they were See also:brothers and members of a See also:noble See also:family in See also:Rome. They gave up their See also:property and travelled to See also:Soissons (Noviodunum, See also:Augusta Suessionum), where they supported themselves by shoemaking and made many converts to See also:Christianity. The See also:emperor See also:Maximianus (Herculius) condemned them to See also:death. His See also:prefect Rictiovarus endeavoured to carry out the See also:sentence, but they emerged unharmed from all the ordeals to which he subjected them, and the weapons he used recoiled against the executioners. Rictiovarus in disgust See also:cast himself into the See also:fire, or the caldron of boiling See also:tar, from which they had emerged refreshed. At last Maximian had their heads cut off (c. 287–300). Their remains were buried at Soissons, but were afterwards removed, partly by See also:Charlemagne to See also:Osnabruck (where a festival is observed annually on the loth of See also:June) and partly to the See also:chapel of St See also:- LAWRENCE
