(Latin: albus, white)

One of Britain's first martyrs (c.304), suffered at Verulamium (since called Saint Alban's). According to legend, he was converted from paganism by a cleric, Amphibalus, whom he sheltered in his house. Alban, disguised in the cleric's cloak, gave himself up to the authorities, was scourged, and beheaded. Feast, June 22,.
