Ambrose was born to Roman nobility, well educated, and a Christian convert. When he was young, bees swarmed his mouth, thus his symbol became the honeybee. By way of his oratory skills, he was given the nickname 'Honey Tongued Doctor'. He was appointed the Bishop of Milan when the former Bishop died, and maintained that the Church comes before the State.
