The story of "Father Dennis" is the legend of Saint Denis, the first Christian bishop of Paris, who was martyred in the 3rd century by being beheaded for his faith. The most famous part of his story is the miraculous legend that, after his £xecution, he picked up his severed head and walked several miles to his chosen burial site, preaching a sermon about repentance along the way. This site became the location for the Basilica of Saint-Denis, a significant church and the burial place for French monarchs.
