Day 340/24. Martyrs in the Nave

These seven martyrs were installed in St Albans Cathedral in 2015, completing the Nave screen.
Four are martyrs with local connections - St Alban, Amphibalus, the priest he sheltered, Catholic priest Alban Roe, who was imprisoned in the Abbey Gatehouse, and Protestant George Tankerfield, who was burned at the stake near the cathedral.
Three lived in the 20th Century and represent the cathedral's ecumenical congregations - Russian Orthodox St Elisabeth Romanova, German Lutheran Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero.
See extra image today for their position in the cathedral.
