The Roman Martyrology celebrates fallen Vietnamese Christian martyrs of the 19th century who gave their lives for Christ, offering a strong symbol of faith for future generations.On August 1, the Roman Martyrology pays homage to two martyred Christian priests who were “decapitated under the Emperor Minh Mang” in the city of Nam Dinh in Vietnam: Domenico Nguyen Van Hanh and Bernardo Vu Van Due.
According to the Vatican’s Fides news agency, the monarchs and authorities of Vietnam signed fifty-three edicts that led to the death and persecution of thousands of Christians, as well as native local priests. Pope Leo XIII was the first Pope to beatify these martyrs: precisely 64 Vietnamese and a total of 117 martyrs were elevated to sainthood from the beginning of the 20th century.
A decree issued on April 18, 1986, sought to combine the canonisation processes of the 117 martyrs, of whom Fides says 96 are Vietnamese: thirty-seven priests, sixteen catechists, ten Dominican tertiaries, one woman and one seminarian.
