 === Saint Alban ===
-In the late third century, Saint Germain was embodied as Saint Alban, the first martyr of Britain. Alban lived in England during the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Diocletian. He was a pagan who had served in the Roman army and settled in the town of Verulamium, later renamed St. Albans. Alban hid a fugitive Christian priest named Amphibalus, who converted him. When soldiers came to search for him, Alban allowed the priest to escape and disguised himself in the cleric’s garb.
+À la fin du troisième siècle, nous retrouvons Saint-Germain incarné en saint Alban, le premier martyr britannique. Alban vivait en Angleterre pendant la persécution des chrétiens sous l’empereur romain Dioclétien. Il était un soldat païen qui était au service de l’armée romaine dans la ville de Verulamium, renommée plus tard Saint-Alban. Alban recueillit un prêtre fugitif, nommé Amphibalus, qui convertit Alban. Lorsque les soldats vinrent chercher le fugitif, Alban se vêtit des vêtements du prêtre et permit à celui-ci de s’échapper.
 Once his deed was discovered, Alban was scourged and sentenced to death. Legend says that so great a multitude gathered to witness his execution that they could not pass over a narrow bridge that had to be crossed. Alban prayed and the river parted to give passage to the crowd, whereupon his appointed executioner was converted and begged to die in his place. The request was denied and he was beheaded along with Alban.
