St. Florian, known by many as the patron saint of firefighters, was a commander in the Roman army during the reign of the Emperor Diocletian and was martyred for his faith.  He is often shown with a container of water, as he is reputed to have saved a town from burning with a bucket of water.  His feast day is celebrated on May 4.
