Saint Ambrose was born in Trier at the time of the Roman Empire, which is located in modern-day Germany, and his father was a high-ranking government official. Since the Emperor's court had moved from Rome to Milan, Ambrose moved to this city to pursue his career in the imperial administration. In just a few years he managed to establish himself as a great moral authority, able to firmly stand up to the Emperor, to the point that by popular acclaim the Milanese had declared him a Bishop.
FUN FACT: Ambrose was only a few months old when a swarm of bees put honey on his lips. For this reason, he is still the protector of beekeepers today.
