40 MARTYRS OF ENGLAND AND WALES

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 4th of May WELCOME! 40 MARTYRS OF ENGLAND AND WALES St Margaret Clitherow's Martyrdom ➡️ The 85 Martyrs of England and Wales - List of their Names FEAST DAY: MAY 4 (FORMERLY OCTOBER 25) The English Martyrs are those English Catholics who suffered death for the faith from the time of Henry VIII’s divorce and his breach with Rome in the early 1530s. They were a very disparate group of people – many were priests executed for saying Mass, others laity who helped them, or simply refused to deny their faith under persecution. They came from all classes of society, rich and poor, educated and unlettered; but they were alike in placing their faith above any material advantage, and indeed valuing it more than life itself. Their witness to Christ is one of the glories of the Church in England. THE LIST OF THESE HOLY MARTYRS: (Some links are yet to be added.

JOHN PAUL I., POPE, ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ELECTION - 26 AUGUST

  ANNIVERSARY OF THE ELECTION OF POPE JOHN PAUL I  ⬅️ Saintly Popes - Index Albino Luciani, the Patriarch of Venice, was elected pope on the fourth ballot on August 26, 1978, and assumed the double name "John Paul", in homage to his immediate predecessors, John XXIII and Paul VI.   The month-long pontificate of John Paul I earned for him from the media the title, "the Smiling Pope".    THE FIRST POPE TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE 20th CENTURY John Paul I died on September 28, 1978. He was the first pope to have been born in the 20th century. His reign is among the shortest in papal history, resulting in the most recent year of three popes and the first to occur since 1605. John Paul I remains the most recent Italian-born pope, the last in a succession of such popes that started with Clement VII in 1523. ➡️ More information about Blessed John Paul I., Pope
