Saint Samuel

Saint Samuel was a Christian missionary who is said to have bought Christianity to St Samuel.

History

Born around 3 AD, in Antioch, Samuel Diorbellius was the son of a butcher and at the age of 15 became a sailor, working the trade routes in the Mediterranean. This line of work led Samuel to Syria where he became a follower of the Apostle Saint Peter and became a Saint himself. In 40 AD Samuel's travels took him to Egypt where he helped construct a church in Alexandria.

In 44 AD Samuel travelled to the Holdini Isles to spread the word of Christ. Samuel was succesful in bringing King Sethius to the faith and in 46AD Sethius declared Holdinia a Christian state. The Church of Holden (CoH) was founded and Samuel became the Archbishop of Francisco and head of CoH.

In 50 AD Samuel travelled to Jerusalem for the Council of Jerusalem.

Death of Samuel

In 63 AD Samuel travelled to Rome with a band of Christians with the hope of freeing Saint Peter, who had been imprisoned by the Emperor. As soon as word reached Emperor Nero of Samuel's arrival in Rome, he had him arrested and in 64 AD Saint's Peter, Paul and Samuel were blamed for the great fire of Rome and crucified.
