Emmanuel Ruiz

Who they were

At Damascus in Syria, the passion of the Blessed martyrs Emmanuel Ruiz, priest, and companions, seven of the Order of Friars Minor and three brothers, faithful of the Maronite Church, who, handed over to the enemy through deceit by a traitor, were subjected to various tortures for the faith and completed their martyrdom with a glorious death.

The miracles

As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 10 July as a priest who, betrayed, was tortured and killed for the faith at Damascus with his companions.
