Crispin
Crispin were once the Catholic patron saints of cobblers, tanners, and leather workers. Born to a noble Roman family in the 3rd century AD, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, twin brothers, fled persecution for their faith, winding up in Soissons, where they preached Christianity to the Gauls and made shoes by night.
286 - Their success attracted the ire of Rictus Varus, the governor of Belgic Gaul, who had them tortured and beheaded.
