By: Manila John The legend of San Crispin and San Crispiniano (Saint Crispin patron saint of cobblers-tanners)

Saint Crispin and Crispinian were two brothers from a family of Roman aristocrats who converted to Christianity under the reign of Diocletian (245-313). Pope Caius (283-296) gave them the task of converting Gaul and in 285d. C settled in Soissons to work as shoemakers and preach the word of God. When the Roman general Maximian Herculeus asked them to renounce their faith and worship pagan idols, the brothers refused, leading to frequent and cruel persecution. They were tortured and thrown into the River Aisne with a millstone around their necks. Then a miracle happened: the stone loosened and the shoemakers reached the other shore safe and sound, and praising God. When Maximian received the news, he ordered their heads to be cut off, which was carried out in the year 287.

In 649, the Bishop of Soissons, named Anserik, moved the remains of the two brothers to the crypt of his basilica. When the shoemakers' guild was established in Paris Cathedral in 1379 by King Charles the Wise (1338-1380), the shoemakers chose Saint Crispin and Saint Crispinian as their patron saints, formally celebrated on October 25.
