picchick Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Today we have a group of saints. I will summarize their life from what I have read thus far. [center]The Martyrs of Gorkum[/center] [center]1570's[/center] [center][img]http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/define83.jpg[/img][/center] This was a group of Franciscans, a couple of lay men and a few priests who were taken prisoner when Gorkum, Holland was ovetaken by Calvanists. They were told to deny their belief in the papacy and in the Holy Eucharist. When they refused, they were hung.
