St. Alban's Day, on June 22, celebrates the life of St. Alban, the first British Christian martyr. Long ago, around the year 300, Alban lived in England and helped a priest who was in danger. To protect the priest, he switched clothes with him and was caught instead. People remember his bravery and kindness, as he stood up for what he believed was right. On this day, some people visit the St. Alban's Cathedral, where he is buried, and think about being kind and brave just like St. Alban.
