Servais is a commune in the Aisne department in Picardy in northern France.
Saint Servatius (Dutch: Sint Servaas; French: Saint Servais) (born in Armenia, died in Maastricht, traditionally in 384) was bishop of Tongeren —Latin: Atuatuca Tungrorum, the capital of the Tungri—. Servatius is patron saint of the city of Maastricht and the towns of Schijndel and Grimbergen. He is one of the Ice Saints. His feast day is May 13.
A widely travelled diplomat and a determined prosecutor of Arianism, the presence of Servatius is recorded at several synods and church councils. In 343, Sarbatios - Greek texts rendering v as b - was present at the Council of Sardica (modern Sofia). In the debates, Servatius represented the Trinitarian view, which clashed with the Arian view of most Eastern bishops. When Athanasius, leader of the anti-Arian party, was in exile in Trier, he may have met with Servatius in Trier or Tongeren, because both men campaigned against Arian bishops and priests in the region. In 346, at the Council of Cologne, Servatius testified against the bishop of Cologne, saying that "he denied the divinity of Jesus Christ, this even happened in the presence of Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria", adding to this "our churches are adjacent".
Servais is a surname of French origin, being the French version of the Latin name Servatius. The name refers to:
SILENCE ROOM
I’m sitting right in your house
I’m sitting on your settee
I had to make my own coffee and find the remote for your tv
I came all this way
But you’re a million miles away
I’m still waiting till you get off the phone, like I got all day
You better wait a sec
Cos I can’t connect
You gotta let me in your head
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
I’m sitting with all your friends
We’re laughing at all your ways
I pretend I see the funny side but really I’m ready to break
They say talk is cheap
But with you it wouldn’t be
If you could just take the time to speak your mind
How much effort would that take
You better make a start
At trying to act the part
Or I’m getting on the next plane
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
You’re keeping a secret, you know it’s a lie
You’re walking on thin glass you know that this can’t last
You’re keeping a secret, you know it’s a lie
You gotta let me in your head
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
