 | | GOD, who didst adorn blessed Alphege, devoutly confessing thy most holy Name, with the dignity of priesthood and the palm of martyrdom : mercifully grant that, by his intercession, we may find such succour in thy sight, that we may be found worthy to rejoice with him in everlasting felicity. | | | In later times Archbishop Lanfranc raised the question as to whether or not holy Alphege died for the Faith ; to whom Saint Anselm replied that death for the sake of justice is death for Christ. | | | LPHEGE, born of noble blood, sought in youth for training in nobler things at the monastery of Deerhurst in Gloucestershire ; after which he became a hermit at Bath ; where disciples came to him, with whom he founded the monastery in that place. |

| | The Church has held that, in God’s plan, St. Alphege was a holy martyr, who in life as well as untimely and cruel death, showed charity, pity, and steadfast faith in the saving mercy of God. | | | Christian England attributed the brutality of their attackers to the fact that they were heathen who prayed to the pagan gods Odin and Thor and who placed their faith in violent methods of warfare. | | | Through the intercessions of St. Alphege, bishop and martyr, may God have mercy on us. |

| | St. Alphege. |
| | Alphege is no longer utilized as a church. | | | Therefore, for those who wanted to use a church in their immediate neighbourhood, St. Alphege was the perfect choice. | | | In addition, as tends to happen when people become familiar and comfortable with their normal routine, I think you will find that some of these families continued to use the church after the move by members of the main congregation to the Cathedral. |

| | The answer, supplied by St. Anselm, was that, like St. John the Baptist, Alphege was a martyr for justice and truth; the feast was then duly restored. | | | Later, the Norman archbishop Lanfranc suspended the celebration, questioning whether Alphege was actually a martyr for the faith. | | | Finally, in 1012, after a drunken feast, the Danes had Alphege axed to death at Greenwich. |
