Chief commander was Mauritius (also known as Moric), and the other commanders were Exsuperius and Candidus. They set an example of bravery and Christian principles for their soldiers. The exact number of soldiers or martyrs in this legion is unknown. The Golden Legend speaks of 6,666 men. They were gradually executed during the persecution under the joint rule of Emperors Diocletian and Maximian until 305. Diocletian was based in Nicomedia in the east, while Maximian was based in Milan and then Ravenna in the west. Between 286 and 302, Maximian led his army to southern Gaul, where he suppressed the Baghdad rebellion. Mauricio’s legion was ordered to move to join Maximian’s army near Lake Geneva.

It was exceptional in that it was composed of Christians who could be faithful to their faith, and no one and nothing could separate them from Christ.<\/span><\/h2>\nAfter crossing the Alps, Maximian camped at the foot of Mount St. Bernard in the Rhone Valley near Octodur ( later Martigny) and had festivities held there with sacrifices to the pagan gods to ensure victory for the army. The soldiers were probably supposed to take an oath at the pagan altars to fight against the Ba gauds and prosecute Christians as enemies of the state and gods. The Theban Legion learned of this and changed the direction of the journey. She continued outside the imperial camp through the Again Strait to Lake Geneva. However, the imperial orders caught up with them, and Mauritius answered them approximately as follows: <\/span>“We are determined to serve the Emperor faithfully and bravely against enemies, but we cannot sacrifice to idols or participate in the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters.”<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\nThe emperors said that they had pledged themselves to him for service with flesh and blood, but with heart and soul that they belonged to God. And they will conscientiously obey him unless it is orders contrary to the will of God.<\/span><\/h2>\nThis legion was already remembered at the martyrdom of Felix and Regulus on the 26th. 6. The remains of the martyrs were raised in Agana around 380, and a shrine was built over the site of the find by the Bishop of Wallis, Theodor, which became a place of pilgrimage. In 445, the story of the Theban Legion was recorded as St. Eucherie of Lyon. King Sigismund decided in September 515 that a monastery be established here at the temple of these martyrs. It was plundered by the Lombards in 574 and by the Saracens in the 10th century. In 1128, it was taken over by the Augustinians. The current basilica in Saint-Maurice-en-Valais is already the eighth building on the site of the tomb of the martyrs.<\/span><\/h2>\nIn 1158, King Vladislav I brought from Milan for the main Prague church the bone and sword of St. Mauritius, and later the St. Vitus temple received even more parts from the remains of his legion.<\/span><\/h2>\nThe memory of these martyrs is a call to bravery and an incentive for me to examine the conscience of my relationship with other Christians. Would I be willing to make a sacrifice of my life for them as soldiers from this legion? – Like Christ? How should my willingness, which I should approach, begin to manifest itself? – They are questions for my own resolutions.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 22 September, commemoration Position: martyrs Deaths: about 302 Patron: soldiers, armorers, and craftsmen who work with colors; Piedmont, Savoy, Sardinia, Burgundy Attributes: Banner, knight, soldier BIOGRAPHY Moric commanded a legion composed of zealous Christians.
