The apostle of England

Long ago the pope who was Gregory quickly walked through the crowded streets of Rome. While he was walking something caught his attention. The slave master was selling three angels! Pope Gregory capably walked up to them and asked the slave master, ‘’How could you commit such a sin and sell these heavenly creatures? ’’So the pope bought all three of the boys. When he brought then home he discovered that they were from England and when he talked even more he found out that they knew not of god and were not angels. Pope Gregory was greatly saddened and felt the need to teach them about Christ.

                Pope Gregory talked to his friend who was named Augustine and asked that he would sail to England and preach to the people who knew nothing about God. Augustine agreed and voyaged to England. The trip was very unpleasant. Augustine happily landed in kent and told the king boldly bravely and brazenly about Christ and the king became a Christian to Augustin’s delight he also him tell the people about Jesus.

                Augustin told the people about god and many of them turned to Christ. Pope Gregory who heard of this sent more monks. On the Christmas of 597 A.D. more than a 1,000 people were baptized. Later Augustin was remembered as the noble apostle of England.
