The story of St. Florian is told in a modern drama. St Florian was a commander in the Roman army and responsible for training an elite group of soldiers specially trained to fight fires. Reported to Rome for not enforcing proscriptions against Christians and ordered to sacrifice to the Roman gods, he refused and was sentenced to be burned. Offering climb on the pyre to show his faith and courage, he was instead drowned in the river with a millstone. His feast is May 4.
