St Christopher Robinson Biography
Blessed Christopher Robinson was born in 1568 AD at Woodside, England. He studied in Douai and Rheims, France beginning in 1590 AD. He was then ordained a priest on 24 February 1592 AD. Christopher returned to England in September 1592 AD to covertly minister to oppressed Catholics in the areas of Cumberland and Westmoreland.
Witnessing the martyrdom of Saint John Boste, Christopher decided to published an account of it. He was arrested 4 March 1597 AD for the crime of priesthood.
