Description
The North American Martyrs were Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. Jean de Brébeuf (March 25, 1593 - March 16, 1649) and Gabriel Lalemant (October 3, 1610 - March 17, 1649) were French Jesuit missionaries. In 1649, they were captured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village. Together with Huron captives, the missionaries were ritually tortured and killed, being martyred on March 16, 1649. They were beatified in 1925 and canonized as saints in the Roman Catholic Church in 1930.
