What is saint firmin?

Saint Firmin, also known as Saint Firmin of Amiens, was a Christian bishop and martyr who lived during the 3rd century AD. He is the patron saint of Amiens, France, and is venerated by the Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Firmin was born in Pampelune, Spain, and was ordained a bishop in Rome. He was then sent to evangelize in France, where he founded a church in Amiens. According to legend, Firmin was able to perform miracles, such as healing the sick and raising the dead.

However, his Christian beliefs and preaching were not welcomed by all. Firmin was eventually arrested, tortured, and beheaded under the rule of the Roman emperor Diocletian. His feast day is celebrated on September 25th.

Saint Firmin is often depicted in art holding a staff or crozier, which symbolizes his role as bishop. He is also sometimes shown with a palm frond, which is a symbol of martyrdom. Many churches and cathedrals throughout France are dedicated to Saint Firmin.
