Who they were
In the territory of Laval in France, Blessed Giacomo Burin, priest and martyr, worked hard during the French Revolution at the clandestine exercise of the pastoral ministry and, fleeing from house to house before the band of his persecutors, was finally shot with the chalice in his hands.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
He was shot with the chalice in his hands while exercising the priestly ministry in hiding.
