38 Martyrs Killed by Communist Regime Beatified in Albania

Briefly speaking of individual priests and bishops who were murdered, this stunning account tells of their deaths, some of them executed because of acts of great faith, beginning with a priest killed because he would not say what he heard in confession.

Albania, a small country just north of Greece, which was under a communist goverment until 1990, had outlawed all religion.

Wow! How sad and beautiful at the same time!

All these poor martyrs today and their numbers increasing almost exponentially is just mind boggling. Makes you really think about your life and if you could do the same if called upon to do so. Definitely a real possibility even in Western countries which didn’t used to have many (or any!)
