DESCRIPTION:All Saints’ Day\, is the day we remember all the saints and 
 martyrs of the church\, both known and unknown.\n\nWhen I was a child\, we
  worshipped each Sunday at St Albans Abbey\, the church of the first Briti
 sh martyr. At the front of the nave above the altar was a stone rood scree
 n\, built by Abbot Thomas de la Mare\, around the time of the Black Death 
 (1349-51). It contained seven empty niches\, where brightly coloured statu
 es had once stood. But the statues were destroyed during the Reformation\,
  and the niches left empty. \n\nToday they are again filled with freshly c
 oloured statues\, commissioned by the Abbey from sculptor Rory Young. They
  depict seven martyrs\, each carrying the martyr’s symbol of the palm br
 anch. From left to right:\n\n➡️Oscar Romero – Roman Catholic Archbis
 hop of El Salvador\, who stood up for the poor\, assassinated during Mass 
 in 1980\n\n➡️St Alban Roe – imprisoned for a time in St Albans Abbey
  Gatehouse and hanged in London in 1642\, having been found guilty of trea
 son for being a Roman Catholic priest\n\n➡️St Amphibalus – a Christi
 an priest sheltered by St Alban\, when Christianity was forbidden\n\n➡
 ️St Alban – The first British saint\, beheaded in Roman Verulamium on 
 the site of the Abbey in the third century AD\n\n➡️George Tankerfield 
 - burnt to death in 1555\, in Romeland\, an alley in St Albans\, because a
 s a Protestant\, he refused the doctrine of transubstantiation\n\n➡️St
  Elisabeth Romanova – a granddaughter of Queen Victoria and member of th
 e Russian Royal Family and the Orthodox Church\, becoming a nun and Abbess
  after her husband died. She was murdered  by the Bolsheviks in 1918\n\n
 ➡️Dietrich Bonhoeffer– Lutheran pastor and theologian\, sent to a Na
 zi concentration camp\, and tried with neither witness nor defence. He was
  hung in April 1945.\n\nThese are the sort of people we remember on All Sa
 ints' Day. The Dean of the Cathedral writes that there are “martyrs in e
 very age – probably more now than there have been for many years – and
  inspire us to be braver ourselves in standing up for what we believe.”\
 n\nPLEASE NOTE\, as well as the 11.30am Eucharist. In the evening at 6pm t
 here will be a service to remember departed loved ones\, with the Pueri Ca
 ntores choir\, directed by Antonio del Pino\n\nClick below to hear a hymn 
 for All Saints Day.
