Saint Denis Of Paris
Denis of Paris was a 3rd-century Christian martyr and saint. According to his hagiographies, he was bishop of Paris (then Lutetia) in the third century and, together with his companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, was martyred for his faith by decapitation. Some accounts placed this during Domitian's persecution and incorrectly identified StDenis of Paris with the Areopagite who was converted by Paul the Apostle and who served as the first bishop of Athens. Assuming Denis's historicity, it is now considered more likely that he suffered under the persecution of the emperor Decius shortly after AD250. Denis is the most famous cephalophore in Christian legend, with a popular story claiming that the decapitated bishop picked up his head and walked several miles while preaching a sermon on repentance. He is venerated in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of France and Paris and is accounted one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. A chapel was raised at the site of his burial by ...

St Dennis Junction
St Dennis Junction was in St Dennis, Cornwall. 1849 - 1960 The history of railway lines through the Cornish village of St. Dennis dates back as far as 1849. In that year, a tramway was opened linking the harbour in Newquay to areas where clay was - and still is - mined. This railway ran from Newquay, through the localities of Quintrell Downs, St Columb Road and St. Dennis. On 14 July 1864 an Act of Parliament was obtained for the Newquay and Cornwall Junction Railway. Construction proved to be easier said than done and the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of broad gauge railway from the main line at Burngullow up to Nanpean finally opened on 1 July 1869. Upon the opening of the Cornwall Minerals Railway line from Par to St Columb Road on 1 January 1879 it became possible for trains of china clay to travel to the harbours at Par Docks and Fowey for onward shipping. At the same time, the old tramway from Newquay was rebuilt and extended to meet up with the line already at Nanpean ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
