Pope Francis will canonise today the eleven Martyrs of Damascus at 11.30am Cyprus time at the Holy Mass at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
Eight of the martyrs are Franciscan friars — six priests and two professed religious — all missionaries from Spain except for Father Engelbert Kolland, who was from Salzburg, Austria.
The three others are laymen who were also killed in the raid on the Franciscan church that night: Francis, Mooti, and Raphael Massabki, who were all brothers from a Maronite Catholic family.
