According to Christian tradition, Saint Denis (also called Dionysius, Dennis, or Denys)
is a Christian martyr and saint.
In the third century (third century = 201 AD to 300 AD), he was Bishop of Paris.
He was martyred, with his companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, in connection with the Decian persecution of Christians, shortly after 250 AD.
Denis is said to have picked his head up after being decapitated, walked ten kilometres (six miles), while preaching a sermon of repentance the entire way,
making him one of many cephalophores in hagiology.
He is venerated in the Roman Catholic Church as patron of Paris, France,
and as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
The medieval and modern French name "Denis" derives from the ancient Greek name Dionysius.

Work began at the top of the Rue Royale, North of Place de la Concorde, in 1734. a fairly run-of-the-mill Renaissance church was planned. In 1777, however, the architect died, and his successor decide to pull down what had been built so far and put up a Classical Stock Exchange instead. This project ran into difficulties, and the plans were altered in turn to suit a Library, a Parliament building, a Court house, and a Bank. In 1806 Napoleon had it all pulled down and ran a competition to design a replacement which would be a Temple to the Glory of the French Army. The design which won the competition didn't suit Napoleon, so he asked Vignon (one of the judges) to do the job. Vignon produced the final design, an enormous Greek Temple surrounded by 52 pillars each 65 feet high. After the fall of Napoleon, Louis XVIII ordered the builders to carry on with the job, but to make it a church. In 1841 the building, almost finished, was nearly turned into Paris' first railway-station, but it was finally consecrated in 1842 as the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene
