In the third century two brothers, Crispin and Crispinian, went from Rome to France where they preached Christianity and worked at night making shoes. The Roman governor had them put to death and they were made saints having been martyrs for their faith.

How did the Knights of Saint Crispin begin?

The first lodge of the Knights of St. Crispin was organized in 1867 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a union of shoemakers, it took its name from the Catholic Saint Crispin, the patron saint of cobblers. … In 1872 some eastern lodges went on strike and suffered a crushing defeat, after which the organization rapidly declined.
