The Blessed Martyrs of Compiègne
The Martyrs of Compiègne were the 16 members of the Carmel of Compiègne, France: eleven Discalced Carmelite nuns, three lay sisters, and two externs (or tertiaries). They were executed by the guillotine towards the end of the Reign of Terror, at what is now the Place de la Nation in Paris on 17 July 1794. Mulot de la Ménardière, a married man and a cousin of Sister Euphrasia, was arrested, sentenced, executed, and buried with the Carmelite sisters.
Ten days after their execution, Maximilien Robespierre himself was executed, ending the Reign of Terror.
On May 27, 1906, the Martyrs of Compiègne were beatified, becoming the first martyrs of the French Revolution to be so recognized by the Holy See. On February 22 of this year the Diocese of Beauvais announced that Pope Francis had accepted the procedure of “equipollent canonization” for the Martyrs of Compiègne, by which they could be canonized as saints without recognition of a miracle attributed to their intercession.
