Martyrs

From the earliest centuries of Christianity to modern times, martyrs have shown heroic courage, often in the face of persecution, torture, or injustice. Their sacrifices inspire us to live our faith boldly and with conviction.

The Church honors them as saints, and their stories remind us of the cost—and the joy—of discipleship. On this page, you’ll find saints who were martyred for their beliefs, offering powerful examples of love, perseverance, and unshakable trust in God.
