Saint Florian Cross Religious Medal "EXCLUSIVE"

• Saint Florian is a Christian saint, and the patron saint of Poland; Linz, Austria; chimney sweeps; and firefighters.

• His feast day is May 4. St. Florian is also the patron of Upper Austria, jointly with Saint Leopold.

  Florian lived in the time of the Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian, and was commander of the imperial army in the

• roman province of Noricum. In addition to his military duties, he was also responsible for organizing firefighting
• brigades. The Roman regime sought to eradicate Christianity, and sent Aquilinus to persecute Christians. When Aquilinus
• ordered Florian to offer sacrifice to the pagan Roman gods in accordance with Roman religion, he refused, and
• cheerfully accepted the beatings of the soldiers, who used clubs, spikes and fire to torture him. He was executed by
• drowning in the Enns River with a stone tied around his neck. Later a woman named Valeria had a vision in which she saw
• him; Florian, in this vision, declared his intent to be buried in a more appropriate location.
