Vietnamese Martyrs
The term "Vietnamese Martyrs" refers to a group of individuals in Vietnam who were persecuted and killed for their Christian faith, particularly during the 17th to 19th centuries. Many of these martyrs were Catholics, and their sacrifices are commemorated for their steadfastness in faith despite facing severe oppression and violence from various regimes.
In total, the Catholic Church recognizes 117 Vietnamese Martyrs, including notable figures like Saint Andrew Dung-Lac and Saint Paul Le-Bao-Tinh. Their feast day is celebrated on November 24, honoring their legacy and inspiring many in the Christian community in Vietnam and around the world.
