St. Lawrence was a from Huesca, Spain and called to Rome by the pope. He was a third-century archdeacon of Rome and "keeper of the treasures of the church" in a time when Christianity was outlawed. Emperor Valerian delighted in the persecution of Christians and on 6 August 258, by decree of Valerian, Pope Saint Sixtus II and six deacons were beheaded, leaving only Lawrence.
Before his death Sixtus greeted and reassured Lawrence that he was not being left behind; they would be reunited in four days. Lawrence saw this time as an opportunity to disperse the material wealth of the church before the Roman authorities could lay their hands on it.
On 10 August Lawrence was commanded to appear for his execution, and to bring along the treasure with which he had been entrusted. When he arrived, the archdeacon was accompanied by a multitude of Rome's crippled, blind, sick, and indigent; he announced that these were the true treasure of the Church.
Lawrence's care for the poor, the ill, the neglected have led to his patronage of them. His work to save the material wealth of the Church, including its documents, brought librarians and those in related fields to see him as a patron and to ask for his intercession.
His incredible strength and courage when being grilled to death led to his patronage of cooks and those who work in or supply things to the kitchen. He was martyred by being slowly burned on a grid iron; according to St. Ambrose he apparently told his torturers "Turn me over for I am cooked on this side".
. . Approximately 50 years after his death the Emperor Constantine had a Basilica built over St. Lawrence's grave. It was one of the seven major churches in Rome.
His mummified head may be in the Secret Archives of the Vatican Patronage

"Miny to straszliwa broń, która potrafi zabić, ale często bardzo dotkliwie rani. Wydawałoby się, że w dzisiejszych czasach te śmiercionośne "zabawki" istnieją tylko w państwach, w których występuje konflikt zbrojny. Okazuje się, że nawet w Polsce można znaleźć stare niewypały, które pozostawiały za sobą wojska, które wycofywały się z naszego państwa. Kilkanaście razy w roku saperzy znajdują miny w starych mostach, wiaduktach, a nawet drogach!"
