Today we remember and celebrate martyrs in China that most of us don’t know much about. St. Augustine Zhao Rong was a soldier, not a Christian, when he escorted a missionary bishop from France, St. John Dufresse to his martyrdom. Augustine was so impressed by his witness he himself was soon baptized and became a priest - then captured, tortured and killed for the faith in 1815. With them we celebrate 120 named and many thousands unknown Martyrs for Christ over 4 centuries of persecution in China that still continues to this day. In 1900 the Boxer Rebellion, a brutal complicated international conflict in China took special aim at Christians and at least 40,000 Christians, mostly Catholics were killed.
