Nicasius of Rheims
Saint Nicasius or Nicaise of Rheims ((フランス語:Saint-Nicaise); d. 407〔(San Nicasio di Reims )〕 or 451〔http://www.catholic-forum.com/saintS/saintn11.htm〕) was a bishop of Rheims. He founded the first cathedral in Rheims and is the patron saint of smallpox victims.
==Vandals==
Sources placing his death in 407 credit him with prophesying the invasion of France by the Vandals. He notified his people of this vision, telling them to prepare. When asked if the people should fight or not, Nicasius responded, "Let us abide the mercy of God and pray for our enemies. I am ready to give myself for my people."〔(Saint Nicasius and Companions, Martyrs )〕 Later, when the barbarians were at the gates of the city, he decided to attempt to slow them down so that more of his people could escape. He was killed by the Vandals either at the altar of his church or in its doorway. He was killed with Jucundus, his lector, Florentius, his deacon, and Eutropia, his virgin sister.
After the killing of Nicasius and his colleagues, the Vandals are said to have been frightened away from the area, according to some sources even leaving the treasure they had already gathered.
Accounts of his martyrdom credit him with being among the ''cephalophores'' ("head-carriers") like Saint Denis.〔 Nicasius was said to have been reciting Psalm 119:〔Psalm 118 in the Latin Vulgate of the time〕 he was then decapitated as he reached the verse ''Adhaesit pavimento anima mea'' ("My soul is attached unto dust") and then continued reciting ''Vivifica me Domine secundum verbum tuum'' ("Revive me, Lord, with your words") even after his head had fallen to the ground. He was sometimes depicted in art walking with the upper part of his head and its miter in his hand.〔Jameson, Anna. ''(Sacred and Legendary Art )''. AMS Press (New York), 1970. Accessed 28 Jan 2013.〕
