The Blessed Martyrs of Compiègne - Poster Print

Sixteen Carmelite nuns who climbed the scaffold singing, offering their lives that the Terror might end — and ten days later it did. The Blessed Martyrs of Compiègne renewed their vows beneath the guillotine and went to death one by one, their voices fading hymn by hymn until silence. They had offered themselves as a holocaust for peace, and heaven took them at their word.
