Memorial Chapel Window With Music On History Visit To Episcopal Church Stirling Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a stained glass window in the Memorial Chapel in Episcopal Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Stirling, Stirlingshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Three saints associated strongly with soldiers. St George, St Michael and St Victor of Marseilles. Like many saints, Saint George was described as a martyr after he died for his Christian faith. It is believed that, during the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletian in the early 4th century, St George was executed for refusing to make a sacrifice in honour of the pagan gods. Saint Michael is an archangel, a spiritual warrior in the battle of good versus evil. He is considered a champion of justice, a healer of the sick, and the guardian of the Church. Victor was a soldier in the Roman army at Marseilles when he was hailed before the prefects, Asterius and Eutychius, who sent him to Emperor Maximian for his exhortations to Christians to be firm in their faith in the face of an impending visit by the Emperor. He was dragged through the streets, racked, imprisoned, he converted three guards, Alexander, Felician, and Longinus while in prison. He was again tortured after the guards were beheaded when it was discovered he had converted them to Christianity. When he refused to offer incense to Jupiter, he was crushed in a millstone and beheaded.
