Martyrs in Asia

The history of salvation and today their memory continues to guide the faithful wherever the Christian mission is challenged by hardships, injustices, and suffering. In this regard, the case of Asia is paradigmatic, and the accounts of the life and death of hundreds of Martyrs over the centuries and in recent times are the bedrock of the missionary baptismal identity of millions of Christians, who are called to bear witness to the Word of Jesus amid extremely adverse circumstances.
