Saint Florian (* 3rd century; † May 4, 304 in Lauriacum , today's Lorch in Enns , Upper Austria ) was head of the Roman civil administration in Lauriacum. He is revered equally in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Legend
The events of his martyrdom are described in the Passio Floriani from the late 8th or early 9th century [1] . Florian von Lorch was a retired law firm director and lived in Aelium Cetium (Sankt Pölten). During the period of persecution of Christians (303–304) under Emperor Diocletian , governor Aquilinus came to Lauriacum (today's Lorch in Enns ) to investigate the Christians. 40 Christians were seized and imprisoned after much torture. Florian found out about this and rushed to Lauriacum to help them. In Lauriacum he was caught by his former military comrades and arrested because he professed to be a Christian and brought before the governor Aquilinus. Because he refused to renounce the Christian faith, he was beaten with clubs and his shoulder blades were broken with sharpened irons. Eventually he was sentenced to death. He should be burned alive. At the torture stake he said that if they burned him, he would rise on the flames to heaven. The soldiers were now afraid to burn him, and on May 4, 304 he was thrown from a bridge into the Enns with a stone around his neck (which later became a millstone ) . Before his execution, Florian prayed for an hour, so that the soldiers were awestruck and afraid to carry out the death sentence. An angry young man eventually pushed him off the bridge and into the river. The Saint Florian Monastery was later built over his grave .
Eight years after the execution, freedom of religion was guaranteed under Emperor Constantine .
Worship and customs
History of Worship
According to Passio Floriani tradition, Saint Florian was buried at the site of the Saint Florian Monastery in Upper Austria. The place developed into a place of pilgrimage in the High Middle Ages. In 1184, the saint's relics were transferred to the city of Kraków , where they received an altar in the cathedral . There was evidence of veneration in Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia, Poland and Hungary up until the beginning of the Reformation.

Saint Giles (* around 640 in Athens ; † September 1 between 710 and 724, probably 720 in today's Saint-Gilles ) was a Greek merchant and later abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Gilles in southern France . He is one of the fourteen helpers and was one of the most popular saints in Europe in the Middle Ages . His memorial day is September 1st.
Other names
Ägidius is also known in German-speaking countries as Aegidius , Egid , Egidius , Egydius , Ilg , Ilgen , Jilles , Jillies , Jilg , Gilg , Gilgian or Gilgen .
In French he is called Saint Gilles , in Greek Aigigios ("the shield holder") or Aigeides (Αἰγείδης, "the deer"), in Italian Sant'Egidio , in English Saint Giles , in Polish Święty Idzi , in Hungarian Szent Egyed and in Czech Svatý Jiljí .
Biography and legends
Aegidius was probably born around 640 to a noble Athenian family. He left his Greek homeland and lived for years in the diocese of Nîmes as a hermit in a cave at the mouth of the Rhone in the Mediterranean.
Development into the Holy
According to legend , by God's providence, a deer fed him with her milk. During a hunt by the Visigoth King Wamba (r. 672–680), this deer fled to Aegidius, who stood in front of the animal to protect him and was accidentally hit by an arrow . Realizing that virtue is perfected in weakness, he asked God that his health should not return to him during his earthly existence. So the wound remained with him until the end of his life. To forgive his guilt for the hunting accident, the king had a monastery built under Aegidius' leadership. In 680 he founded the Abbey of Saint-Gilles, which was later named after him . During his lifetime the place was probably still called Pons Aerarium , as in the Itinerarium Burdigalense from 333. He headed the monastery as abbot until his death.
More legends
According to another legend, Aegidius is said to have brought the son of the Prince of Nîmes back to life.
In Rome he is said to have prayed and thrown the doors made of carved cypress wood that the Pope had given him for his monastery into the Tiber ; After his return he found it in the port of his hometown.
When a monk doubted Mary 's virginity and wrote three questions in the sand, Aegidius responded by three white lilies blooming on the dry ground.
Charlemagne - who, however, lived almost 100 years later - is said to have sought Aegidius' intercessions: an angel then placed a piece of paper with the confirmed forgiveness of sins on the altar at which Aegidius carried out his duties. Since then, Ägidius has been considered a supporter of good confession and forgiveness and, as such, is one of the Fourteen Helpers in Need. The saint's intercession for the emperor is depicted, among other things, on one of the stained glass windows in Chartres Cathedral . The Charlemagne Shrine in Aachen Cathedral shows Ägidius and Charles in confession .
At the burial of the deceased, those present heard the choirs of angels carrying his soul to heaven.
Adoration
The grave of St. Aegidius is in the crypt of the abbey church of Saint-Gilles , Gard. Pilgrimages to his grave were already as popular in the 11th century as those to Rome or Santiago de Compostela . The Benedictine monastery was almost completely destroyed in the Huguenot wars of the 16th century.
To the St. There are numerous churches and so-called Egidienststeine dedicated to Aegidius throughout Europe.
Local patronage
Numerous places bear the saint's name, mostly because the first church there was consecrated in his honor. In the German-speaking area, for example, there are the Saxon municipality of St. Egidien , the Lower Austrian market town of St. Aegyd am Neuwalde , Sankt Aegidi in Upper Austria, the municipality of Sankt Gilgen am Wolfgangsee, places called Gilgenberg and Sankt Ilgen , Gillenberg , Gillersheim , Gilden , Gillersdorf , Ilgesheim , Ilgenberg , or the Aegidienberg district of the city of Bad Honnef, the Innsbruck district of Igls . The name of the Transylvanian city of Aiud is also derived from Aegidius.
In several cities, streets and squares are named after the local Ägidienkirche, such as the Aegidienstraße in Bonn and Lübeck , the Egidienstraße in Erlangen , the Aegidientorplatz in Hanover, the Ägidienplatz in Regensburg , the Egidienplatz in Nuremberg and the Ägidienmarkt in Braunschweig .
The Aegidius cult was also very widespread in medieval Poland. The first Polish chronicle by Gallus Anonymus reports that the only son of the Polish prince Władysław I Herman and his wife Judith – Bolesław III. Wry mouth - thanks to the intercession of St. Ägidius ( Polish Idzi ) was born. The ruler sent a golden child statuette to the saint in St. Gilles and received the son as a “gift”. Several Romanesque Aegidius churches in Poland date back to the times of Władysław and Bolesław ( Wrocław, Kraków , Inowłódz, Tarczek), most likely founded by these two rulers. In later times, for example, B. the Ägidius churches in Wroclaw, Krobia, and Wyszków.
The communities of Ilija in Slovakia and Šentilj in Lower Styria, Slovenia also bear Ägidius' name.
The church and the Dominican monastery in Prague's Old Town bear his name: Kostel svatý Jiljí (St. Aegidius Church).

Sebastian or Italian Sebastiano (* in Milan or Narbonne ; † around 288 in Rome ) was a Roman soldier . He has been venerated as a martyr and saint in the Catholic and Orthodox churches since the 4th century . The Protestant Church in Germany also remembers him.
Life
Sebastian spent his youth in Milan ; Because of his good behavior he was appointed officer in the bodyguard of the two emperors Diocletian and Maximian . According to tradition, Sebastian, as captain of the Praetorian Guard at the imperial court, publicly professed Christianity and helped Christians in need, whereupon Diocletian sentenced him to death and had him shot by Numidian archers . Believing he was dead, he was then left lying there. However, Sebastian was not dead, but was nursed back to health by a pious widow named Irene , who actually wanted to prepare him for burial. After his recovery, he returned to Diocletian and once again professed Christianity. Diocletian then ordered him to be clubbed to death in the circus . Sebastian's body was thrown into the Cloaca Maxima , an urban drainage ditch near the Tiber , from which he was recovered by Christians after he is said to have shown them the location of his whereabouts in a dream. He was then buried in the Sebastian Catacomb . The church of San Sebastiano fuori le mura was built over his grave in the 4th century .
Remembrance Day
Catholic, Protestant: January 20th ( non-commemorative day in the Roman general calendar and memorial day in the Protestant name calendar )

Adoration
Saint Sebastian is invoked against the plague , other epidemics and as the patron saint of wells , since his intercession was credited with quickly extinguishing the so-called Justinian plague in Rome in 680 . His cult grew especially since the Black Death in the middle of the 14th century. He is also the patron saint of the dying , iron dealers , potters , gardeners , tanners , brush makers , police officers in Germany and Italy, soldiers and rifle fraternities , war invalids , gunsmiths , iron and tin casters , stonemasons , hunters , Corpse bearers, forest workers and is invoked against the enemies of the church.
Sebastianus is one of the three patron saints of the city of Rome , patron saint of Rio de Janeiro and the Lower Bavarian district capital of Landshut [6] and, together with St. Fabian , the cities of Selm in Westphalia , Roding and Furth im Wald in the Upper Palatinate . In Rio de Janeiro, actually Cidade de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro , a procession takes place on the saint's memorial day .
The most important Sebastian pilgrimage site in the German-speaking world is the former abbey church of St. Sebastian in Ebersberg , Upper Bavaria , where the saint's braincase is kept in a valuable late medieval reliquary . For other churches and places of worship, see Sebastian's Church and Fabian and Sebastian Church . The role assigned to Sebastian as an important plague saint of the first millennium is also explained by Stefan Winkle, based on the Frazer thesis, as a transfer of the veneration of Apollo (whose arrows were associated with illnesses) to the saint. The previous building , San Sebastiano al Palatino , according to tradition the site of martyrdom, is not connected to Apollo, but to the Palladion .
In the Lower Franconian community of Lengfurt, every year on the weekend before or after St. Sebastian's Day, the citizens of Lengfurt make a vow to St. Sebastian redeemed. This vow is said to go back to the plague year of 1632, whereby the plague was said to have disappeared from the place through the intercession of the saint. Therefore, the citizens vowed to pay homage to him with military honors every year on his feast day. The festive celebration of the day of remembrance was revived in Lengfurt in the middle of the 19th century, in 1866, when two deaths from cholera were reported in Lengfurt within one day. The saint's ancestors and help were remembered and the vow was solemnly renewed, after which the cholera subsided. The statutes of the Sebastiani Association Lengfurt that are still valid today date back to this period in the 19th century, and since then the festival has been held, with the exception of the period of National Socialism and the US occupation in the post-war period (approx. 1943–1950) celebrated annually by the men of the Sebastianiwehr. The National Socialists banned the festival not only because of the obvious Christian reference, but, like the American military administration, also because of the military habitus, the marching music and (before 1945) the sharp weapons. The highlight of the festival is the flag waving in the market square on Sunday lunchtime, during which the ensign, one of the club's high officers, raises the consecrated flag within the hall to the song "Over the Waves" (1868) by Juventino Rosas Today the parade, which currently has almost 80 men, forms a square in honor of St. Sebastian pans.
Due to a similar vow from 1610, the vigilante group marches in the town of Oberschwarzach every year on the saint's memorial day.
Iconography
The saint's attributes include arrows piercing his chest. The martyrdom of St. Sebastian was depicted in fine art as early as the 5th century. The depiction of a warrior in (often contemporary) armor with a shield and sword is typical. In German and Dutch depictions from the Gothic period onwards, the thin body covered by wounds is usually emphasized. The entire shelling scene is often shown, such as in Hans Memling . The saint is often tied to a tree, as in Corregio's Madonna of Saint Sebastian (1524). Depictions such as that of Matthias Grünewald on the Isenheim Altar deliberately deviate from this in order to underline a special image message. The painting by Georges de La Tour stands out . Here is Saint Sebastian in the arms of the Holy One who cares for him. Irene , which has strong echoes of a Pietà depiction .
Since the Renaissance at the latest , St. Seeing Sebastian as a steadfast icon of male, Adonis -like beauty . One reason for the renewal of the veneration of saints (particularly as plague saints and church patrons) after the medieval period was the supposedly successful invocation during an outbreak of plague in Rome after 1348. Newer depictions of the saint with homoerotic allusions such as Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien , a stage work by Claude Debussy with text by Gabriele D'Annunzio , or Derek Jarman's 1976 film Sebastiane caused scandals. They also play a role in Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice and Mann's Nobel Prize speech or The Confession of a Mask by Yukio Mishima (1925).
Peasant rules
On the saint's memorial day, which is also the memorial day of St. Fabian , numerous farming rules refer to :
The real winter is beginning for Fabian and Sebastian.
Fabian and Sebastian are supposed to let the sap flow into the trees.
Storm and frost on Fabian is good for all seeds.
Fabian in the fog hat is not good for the plants at all.
Sebastian the colder and brighter the barns and barrels become the more crowded.
Sunshine around Fabian and Sebastian, which means the animals are running out of food.
Around Fabian and Sebastian, the deaf also accepts the pigeon.

The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.
