Cyr and Julitte are figures of saints who have marked Christianity for more than a millennium. Cyr is a 5-year-old child, very mature for his age, who lived in Tarsus, near Antioch (in present-day Turkey), in the 3rd century AD, when the Roman Empire massacred Christians en masse. . During one of those horrific trials where Christians were sentenced to death, Cyr snuck into court running and shouting "I'm a Christian too!". When the judge caught him, he smashed his head against a wall. His mother, Juliette, was also martyred. The horror of their treatment and the heroic hope they demonstrated made them popular as far away as Gaul, especially around Versailles and Nevers. 42 villages bear the name of "Saint-Cyr". see https://nominis.cef.fr/contenus/saint/1329/Saints-Cyr-et-Julitte.html
