This design depicts Saint Alban, the first Christian martyr of Britain, standing in regal armor, holding a cross-staff and a palm branch, symbolizing his sacrifice and victory in faith. According to tradition, Alban sheltered a Christian priest fleeing persecution and, moved by his faith, converted to Christianity himself. When Roman authorities discovered his act of defiance, he courageously took the priest’s place, willingly accepting martyrdom. This artwork captures the nobility of his sacrifice, portraying him as a steadfast warrior of faith, a revered figure in Christian history.
