Saints Crispin and Crispianus are brothers born into a noble family. They were able to flee during the persecution. They ended up at Soissons and worked on evangelizing Gaul. They supported themselves while preaching by making shoes at night. Through their earnings, they were able to help the poor as well.
Saints Crispin and Crispianus inspired a lot of people to convert because of their charity and piety. However, their success did not sit well with the governor of Gaul then. They were tortured but they survived. But in 286, they were beheaded, martyred under the Emperor.
