 === San Albano ===
-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.
+A finales del siglo III Saint Germain estuvo encarnado como San Albano, primer mártir de Britania. Albano vivía en Inglaterra durante la persecución de los cristianos por el emperador Diocleciano. Era un pagano que había servido en el ejército romano y se había asentado en la localidad de Verulamium, cuyo nombre cambió después a St Albans. Albano escondió a un sacerdote fugitivo cristiano llamado Amphibalus, quien lo convirtió. Cuando los soldados llegaron a buscarlo, Albano permitió que el sacerdote escapara y se disfrazó con el atuendo del clérigo.
 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.
