Today the Church honors the Martyrs of Korea, especially Kim Tae-gon, Chong Ha-sang, Yun Ji-chung, and Companions.

Orate pro nobis.

The Martyrs of Korea are a diverse group of martyrs and saints beginning in 1791, with the first known Korean Christian martyr Yun Ji-chung.

The evangelization of Korea began during the early 1600s, when Christian literature was introduced by Korean Confucian scholars who visited China and brought back Western books translated into Chinese. The Catholic ideas espoused in them were debated by court scholars and were denounced as contrary to the traditions of Korea as early as 1724. In 1777, further Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led other Korean scholars to study the faith, and some became Christians. At this point some Koreans started to be converted to Christianity. As word of Jesus spread, ordinary people flocked to the new religion. The new believers called themselves Chonju Kyo Udul, literally "Friends of the Teaching of God of Heaven". The term "friends" was the only term in the Confucian understanding of relationships which implied equality. Around 1789, a Chinese priest managed to secretly enter the country, where he found 4,000 Christians, none of whom had ever seen a priest. The Christian communities were led almost entirely by educated laypeople from the aristocracy, as they were the only ones who could read the books that were written in Hanja.

It was only in 1784 that the first known Korean was baptized after traveling to China to seek out Jesuit missionaries. This same community sent a delegation on foot to Beijing, 750 miles away, to ask the city's bishop for their own bishops and priests. Eventually, two Chinese priests were sent, but their ministry was short-lived. It was these lay Christians who brought the Gospel to Korea and formed Catholic communities even without priests.

During the Joseon Dynasty, Christianity was suppressed and many Christians were persecuted and executed in waves of persecution and martyrdom, in 1791, 1801, 1827, 1839, 1846, and 1866. Yun Ji-chung is recognized as Korea’s first martyr. Korean leaders saw Christianity as a disruptive force that undermined their rigidly hierarchical society and the Confucian ideals of the political system. Some Christians openly renounced ancestor worship, a scandal in Korean society. The Christian priority on God was perceived to be treason to the king, especially under the ruling Joseon dynasty. Some Korean Christians also turned to foreign powers to establish trade links and encourage religious freedom, actions that the Korean government found suspicious. Christians had to practise their faith covertly. Chong Ha-sang, Yu Chin-gil, and Cho Shin-chol had made several secret visits to Beijing in order to find ways of introducing missionaries into Korea. In 1836, Korea saw its first consecrated missionaries (members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society) arrive, who were surprised to find out that the people there were already practicing Korean Christians.

Since the Sinhae persecution of 1791-1801, there had been no priest to care for the Christian community. Serious dangers awaited the missionaries who dared to enter Korea. The bishops and priests who confronted this danger, as well as the laypeople who aided and sheltered them, were in constant threat of losing their lives. Saint Laurent-Marie-Joseph Imbert, M.E.P. Bishop Laurent Imbert and ten other French missionaries were the first Paris Foreign Missions Society priests to enter Korea. During the daytime, they stayed in hiding, but at night they traveled about on foot attending to the spiritual needs of the faithful and administering the sacraments.

Fr. Kim (21 August 1821 – 16 September 1846) was born into an aristocratic Korean family that eventually included three generations of Catholic martyrs. Kim’s great-grandfather died for his Catholic faith in 1814. After being baptized at age 15, Kim studied at a seminary in the Portuguese colony of Macau. He also spent time in study at Lolomboy, Bocaue, Bulacan, Philippines, where today he is also venerated. He was ordained a priest in Shanghai after nine years (1844) by the French bishop Jean Joseph Jean-Baptiste Ferréol. While Kim attended seminary in China, his father was martyred for the faith in 1839. Kim was ordained in Shanghai in 1845 and returned to Korea to catechize Christians in secret. He was arrested 13 months later, tortured, and beheaded. Kim Taegon was the first Korean-born Catholic priest and is the patron saint of Korean clergy.

Paul Chong Hasang was a layman who helped unite Christians under persecution and encouraged them to be strong in the Faith. His appeals to Pope Gregory X directly led the pope to recognize Korea’s Catholic community and to send more priests. Chong died by martyrdom in 1839 after penning a letter in prison defending the Catholic faith to the Korean government.

Another martyr, 17-year-old Agatha Yi, and her brother were falsely told that their parents had denied the faith. She responded: “Whether my parents betrayed or not is their affair. As for us, we cannot betray the Lord of heaven whom we have always served.” Her words were reported widely and inspired six other adult Christians to report themselves to the magistrate. Yi, her parents, and these six are among those canonized.

Fr. Kim, Chong Ha-sang, Yun Ji-chung, and Agatha Yi are numbered amongst the estimated 8,000 to 10,000 Korean Christians who were executed during this time. The vast majority of the martyrs were laypeople. Among the other martyrs were a few bishops and priests, some of the first French missionaries to Korea, and many more to be recognized, and many forgotten by history, but for the most part it was lay people, men and women, married and unmarried, children, young people, and the elderly. All suffered greatly for the Faith and consecrated the rich beginnings of the Church of Korea with their blood as martyrs.

Pope Saint John Paul II, during his trip to Korea, canonized 103 martyrs on May 6, 1984, and inserted their feast into the Calendar of the Universal Church. When he canonized the Korean martyrs in his 1984 visit to South Korea, he noted their great diversity, saying,

“From the 13-year-old Peter Yu to the 72-year-old Mark Chong, men and women, clergy and laity, rich and poor, ordinary people and nobles, many of them descendants of earlier unsung martyrs — they all gladly died for the sake of Christ.”

Pope Francis beatified another 124 martyrs during his August 2014 visit to South Korea. These included Paul Yun Ji-chung, Korea’s first martyr. The cause for the beatification of another 213 martyrs is under way.

Almighty God, who gave to your servants Kim Tae-gon, Chong Ha-sang, Yun Ji-chung, and Companions boldness to confess the Name of our Savior Jesus Christ before the rulers of this world, and courage to die for this faith: Grant that we may always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us, and to suffer gladly for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Happy New Year to my beloved Pingxie, Iron Triangle, Heihua, Jiumen, fellow Daomi, and everyone else! Here's my annual Daomu Biji post!!!

When I took the second photo, I didn't even know what Daomu Biji was; I just thought wow these guys on my friend's bookmarks sure are pretty. It's really hard to believe Daomu Biji has been by my side for so many years now.

Third pic doll is a female-version Zhang Qiling I made; although it doesn't look like him, I say it's him so it is him. Third pic book was gifted to me by a relative ten years ago; I completely forgot about its existence until I accidentally found it a few months ago, and I was so pleasantly surprised I almost cried. I'll just call it my ten years. teehee

Thank you for asking back!

My most loved pairing is Chenwei (ool and being hero). I love chen yu even though haven't watched anything beside teasers.

Next is shiying and baili hongyi. They look so similar yet so different.

Ji Xiangkong x Cai ding is ❤

I am not sure about Xie Yun. He is such a versatile character. I love him with ji chong but I think I prefer his and tang sang pairing more.

Okay, first of all, i am so sorry that it took me so long to reply.

All those pairings... I can totally see where you're coming from, yes. I think Ji Xiangkong and Cai Ding would interest me the most, because they're both very real characters. Although, obviously different because one is mentally stressed by a huge competition while the other is emotionally worried in pandemic circumstance... that's tow very different situations to be in, but i think... taken out of those... or put together in either of them... they could be an interesting couple to watch. Yes!!!

My teacher was very sick his health was hell when a student asks how do you do for the pain one day he gave that teaching.

He told usually when we sick for things we think is “I am sick poor me “ if I was not practising the dharma I could think, believe and act like that.

But I do practice the dharma all that’s happening around me my circumstance my sickness come from past seed so in some way if we do practice dharma there is not much to complain.

Instead, we should think this way this sickness is due to my bad karma there for I regret it that will be in the Hinayana way.

Mahayana or Vajrayana way will be I take this sickness for all being to stop suffering even if one being stop suffer even for a minute a second an hours that way we should think.

When we suffer a sickness trying following our inspiration taking the suffering of others and problem of others.

Records of Han, 1st Year of Jiaping (311 AD)

An eventful year

1st Year of Jiaping, Summer, 4th Month [6 May – 2 June], Han's Zhao Gu and Wang Sang attacked Pei Dun, and killed him.

5th Month [3 June – 2 July], used the Commandant of Guards, Huyan Yan, as Envoy Holding the Tally, Great Chief-Controller of the Vanguard, and Great General of the Van Army. He paired him with 27 000 forbidden troops, to enter the Luo river-lands from Yiyang. He instructed Mi of Donglai, the Dragon-Prancing [General], Liu Yao, and the [General who] Garrisons the Army, Shi Le, to advance the armies and meet with him.

By the time Yan reached Henan, Jin host had from beginning to end been defeated twelve times, the dead were more than 30 000 people. After a long chase, he besieged Luoyang. Mi and others had not yet arrived, so Yan halted the supply wagons at Zhang Fang's old ramparts.

On guiwei [29 June], he first arrived at Luoyang.

On jiashen [30 June], he attacked the Pingchang Gate.

On bingxu [2 July], he overcame it. Thereupon he burnt the Dongyang and Xuanyang Gates, and the various registries and offices. Emperor Huai dispatched the Intendant of Henan, Liu Mo, to resist him, the kingly host was defeated at She Gate.

6th Month, dinghai [3 July], New Moon, Yan, since the outer connections did not arrive, set out from the Dongyang Gate, carried off kings, excellencies and below, more than 200 men and women, and left. At the time the Emperor wanted to cross the He and escape eastward, he prepared a boat on the Luo River. Yan burnt it utterly, and turned back to Zhang Fang's old ramparts.

Mi and Yao robbed Xiangcheng, and then met up with Yan to besiege Luoyang. At the time within the city there was considerable famine, people all ate each other, the hundred officials divided and scattered and were not of firm purpose, and the excellencies and ministers ran to Heyin.

On gengyin [6 July], the Minister of Works, Xun Fan, and the Brilliantly Blessed Grandee Xun Zu, ran to Huanyuan. The Leader of the Left to the Heir-Apparent, Wen, Ji,at night opened the Guangmo Gate, and ran to the Xiaoping Ford.

On xinmao [7 July], Wang Mi arrived at Xuanyang Gate.

On renchen [8 July], Liu Yao, arrived at Ximing Gate.

On dingyou [13 July], the Xuanyang Gate fell. A crowd of twelve kings were with bound hands at the military gate, with sable tail, cicada wings, to thereby make whole the kingly offices. Yao, Mi, and others thereupon entered into the southern palace, they climbed to the Grand Eminence Front Hall, let loose the troops to greatly plunder, and thoroughly gathered the palace people and precious treasure.

The Emperor opened the Hualin Park Gate, and set out for the Heyin Lotus-root Pool, wishing to favour Chang'an. He was pursued by Yao and others and caught. They secluded the Jin Emperor at the Duan Gate. Yao entered from the Ximing Gate to station at the military treasury. Yao and others thereupon pressured and humiliated August Empress Yang.

On wuxu [14 July], Yao killed Jin's Heir-Apparent, Quan, sent out to dig out the mounds and tombs, and burnt down the palaces and temples, the city offices were washed clean entirely. The King of Wu, Yan, the King Jingling, Mao, the Supervisor of the Left of the Masters of Writing, He Yu, the Supervisor of the Right, Cao Fu, the Masters of Writing Lüqiu Chong, Yuan Can, Wang Gun, the Intendant of Henan, Liu Mo, and others were all murdered. The dead among the hundred officials, gentlemen and commoners, men and women, were more than 30 000 people. To the north of the Luo River, they made there to be a capital watchtower.

Moved the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Palace Attendant Yu Min and others, and the six imperial signets transmitted to the state, to Pingyang.

On dingwei [23 July], a great amnesty, and changed the inaugural to be the 1st Year of Jiaping [“Excellent Peace”]. Used the Emperor as Specially Advanced, Brilliantly Blessed Grandee of the Left, and Duke of Ping'e. Used the Palace Attendants Yu Shi and Wang Jun as Brilliantly Blessed Grandees.

During Mi's plundering, Yao forbid it, but Mi did not follow. Yao beheaded his Serrated Gates Wang Yan to thereby display. Mi was furious, he and Yao blocked the troops and attacked each other, the dead were more than 1 000 people. Mi's Senior Clerk, Zhang Song, admonished,saying:

Your Enlightened Excellency and the House of State are together rising up the great affair, and the affair began just now, that is all. To readily attack and chastise each other, how can you face seeing the Ruler and Sovereign? The merit of pacifying Luo truly is the General's, however Liu Yao is of the august clan, [you] ought to be little a below him. Reflecting on Jin's two Wang pacifying Wu, they are then not distant. [I] wish the Enlightened General to consider them a likelihood. Even if the General hinders the troops and does not return, how is he similar to the sons and brothers of the lineage clan!

Mi said:

Good. If not for Sir, I would not understand this mistake.

Hence he went to Yao to apologize. They mended their differences so it was like before. Mi said:

That this low official understand his mistake then really was the merit of Senior Clerk Zhang.

Yao spoke to Song, saying:

You, Lord, are Zhu Jian, why is it you have standard life!

Each bestowed on Song 100 jin of gold.

Mi spoke to Yao, saying:

Luoyang is at the centre of Under Heaven, and strengthened by the mountains the He and the four passes, the walls moats, palaces and houses are without provisional designs and constructions. We ought to clarify to the Ruler and Sovereign to move the capital from Pingyang to it.

Yao, since Under Heaven was not yet settled, and Luoyang faced enemies on four sides and could not be defended, did not employ Mi's stratagem, he burnt it down and left. Mi angrily said:

Son of the Tuge, how do [you] have the thoughts of kings and emperors! What Under Heaven is the explanation for you!

Thereupon he guided the multitudes to go east and station at Xiang Pass.

Earlier, Yao, since Mi had first entered Luo, and had not waited for him, was angry with him. Reaching this point, the mistrust and grudges was thereupon driving a wedge between them. Mi considered the former Colonel Minister of Retainers, LiuTun his countryman with long-held reputation, and for that reason he escaped from the difficulties. Tun because of that advised Mi, saying:

Now the gallant and valiant are contending to rise up, the hems of the Nine Provinces are splitting. Those who have merit not of this generation within the firmament are not made space for. General, from when [you] rose up with troops and onwards, which attacks did not succeed, which battles did [you] not win? And again when [you] and Liu Yao did not cooperate, [you] properly thought of the faults of Wen Zhong and used Fan Li as your teacher.

Moreover if the General possibly is not in the thoughts of kings and emperors, [you can] be king of the east in the home province, and accordingly observe the tendencies of the times. At best [you] can thereby uniting Under Heaven, at worst [you] can complete the affairs of the tripartite balance, how are [you] worse than Sun and Liu! Kuai Tong has spoken, the General ought to make plans for it.

Mi considered him to be correct.

Autumn, 7th Month [1 August – 30 August], the King of Nanyang, Mo sent the Serrated Gates Zhao Ran to defend Puban. Ran requested to become Grand Warden of Pingyi, but did not get it. He was angry, and led the multitudes to surrender to Liu Cong. Cong used Ran as General who Pacifies the West.

8th Month [31 August – 28 September], Liu Cong dispatched his [General who] Pacifies the West, Zhao Ran and [General who] Calms the West, Liu Ya, to lead 20 000 cavalry and attack the King of Nanyang, Mo, at Chang'an. Can and Yao led a great multitude to maintain them. Ran attacked the kingly host at the Tong Pass, General Lü Yi died there. The army arrived at Xiagui. Liang province' general Beigong Chun led his multitudes from Chang'an to surrender to Han. Mo sent Chunyu Ding to resist them. He was defeated by Ran. The gentlemen and multitudes left and deserted, the granaries and treasuries were empty and exhausted. The Libationer Wei Fu said:

Matters are urgent, an early surrender can be the escape.

Mo followed him, and thereupon surrendered to Ran. Ran sat with legs spread and rolled-up sleeves to count out Mo's crimes, he sent him off to go to Can. The cast off people of Chang'an, more than 4 000 families, ran to Hanzhong.

9th Month [29 September – 28 October], Can murdered Mo and his son, the King of Fanyang, Li. He used Mo's Consort, Ms. Liu, to bestow on Zhang Ben of the Hu as wife. He sent off the General of Guards, Liang Fen, Mo's Senior Clerk, Lu Yao, the two Cavaliers in Regular Attendance, Du Ao and Xin Mi, and Beigong Chun and others to Pingyang. Cong was greatly angered due to Can's murdering Mo. Can said:

Your Subject killed Mo actually not for the reasons of his tardy recognition of Heaven's instructions, but though him being the lungs and bowels of the Jin clan, at Luoyang's difficulties, he was unable to die for duty, the first of crimes Under Heaven. For that reason [I] executed him.

Cong said:

Even so, I fear you will not escape the calamity of executing the surrendered. The Way of Man and Heaven reaches the divine, in its order there is nothing which is not repaid.

Winter, 10th Month [29 October – 26 November], West of the Passes there was hunger and famine. White bones covered the countryside, those among the gentlemen and population who survived were not one or two out of a hundred. Cong used Liu Yao as Great General of Chariots and Cavalry, Opening Office with the Same Ceremonies as the Three Ministers, and Shepherd of Yong province, changed his fief to King of Zhongshan, to garrison Chang'an. Wang Mi became Great General, ennobled Duke of Qi.

Earlier, Shi Le detested Wang Mi's bravery and valour, and often privately made preparations for it. At Mi's routing of Luoyang, he very much turned over to Le beautiful women and precious goods to accordingly connect with him. At the time Le had captured Gou Xi, and used him as Marshal of the Left. Mi spoke to Le, saying:

Your Excellency captured Gou Xi and then employed him, how divinely marvellous of you! Make Xi be on Your Excellency's left, Mi be on Your Excellency's right, and Under Heaven will be insufficient to settle [us].

Le was more and more hostile to Mi, and covertly plotted against him. Liu Tun again recommended Mi to summon Cao Yi, and rely on his multitudes to thereby execute Le.

11th Month [27 November – 26 December], Mi sent Tun to go to Qing province, and order Cao Yi guide the troops and meet with him, and then deceptively entice Le towards Qing province. Tun arrived at Dong'e, and was captured by Le's drifting cavalry. Le saw Mi's letter to Yi and was greatly angered, and therefore killed Tun. Mi did not yet know about it. Le hid troops to assault Mi and kill him Shi Le killed Mi at Jiwu, and combined their multitudes, and petitioned that Mi had a rebellious appearance. Cong was greatly angered, and dispatched messengers to chide Le for arbitrarily murder a public support, and having no heart for his sovereign. He also feared Le's disloyal aspirations, and used Mi's section multitudes to pair with them.

When Liu Yao had occupied Chang'an, the Grand Warden of Anding, Jia Ya, and the various Di and Qiang all sent hostages. Only the Inspector of Yong province, Qu Te, and the Grand Warden of Xinping, Zhu Hui firmly defended and did not surrender. The Army-Protector Qu Yun and the Prefect of Pinyang, Liang Su, wanted to run from the mountains south of Jingzhao to Anding. They happened to meet Ya's hostage son at Yinmi, they took him into their arms and turned back to Linjing. They pushed forward Ya to be General who Pacifies the South.

Ya led 20 000 (or 50 000) people of the Rong and Jin, and wanted to attack Chang'an. The Grand Warden of Fufeng, Liang Zong, Qu Te, the Grand Warden of Xiping, Zhu Hui, and others likewise led a multitude of 100 000 to meet with him. Liu Can heard about it, and sent Liu Yao, Liu Ya, and Zhao Ran to resist Ya. They first attack Hui, but did not overcome him. Ya intercepted, struck, and greatly routed them.Yao again exhausted Chang'an's keen soldiers to fight with the various armies at Huangqiu. Yao's multitudes were greatly defeated, and he was hit by a fleeting arrow. He withdrew to protect Ganqu (or Ganquan). Ya pursued him. He turned around from the Wei bridge to assault Dangzhong, and killed him.

People of Du, Wang Tu, Ji Te, and others attacked Liu Can at Xinfeng. Can turned back to Pingyang. Yao attacked and captured Chiyang, and carried off more than 10 000 people to return to Chang'an.

The Filial and Lamented [xiaomin] August Emperor, taboo Ye, courtesy name Yanqi, was Emperor Wu's grandson and King Xiao of Wu, Yan's son. He set out to continue the posterity of his elder uncle, King Xian of Qin, Jian, and inherited the fief of King of Qin. In the 2nd Year of Yongjia [308 AD], he was designated Cavalier in Regular Attendance and General who Consoles the Army.

Yan Ding, courtesy name Taichen, was a native of Tianshui. He began as Army Assitant to the Grand Tutor, the King of Donghai, Yue. He moved to Prefect of Juan, and acted on the affairs of the Inspector of Yu province, stationed at Xuchang. He came across mourning for his mother, and therefore within Mi county collected refugees from the western provinces, several thousand people, wishing to return to his home district.

When Luoyang was upset and overturned, the King of Qin set out and ran to within Mi. He and his maternal uncle the Minister of Works, Xun Fan, and Fan's younger brother, Colonel Minister of Retainers, Zu, came across each other. Fan, Zu, the Army Leader of the Centre, Hua Heng, and the Intendant of Henan, Hua Hui, were in Mi county were they founded and established an Acting Tribunal. Since Mi was close to the thieves, they hurried south to Xu and Ying.

The Senior Clerk of the Left to the Minister over the Masses, Liu Chou had become a fortifications master in Mi. The Prefect of the Palace Writers, Li Heng, the Army Advisors to the Grand Tutor, Zou Jie and Liu Wei, the Senior Clerk of the Garrison Army, Zhou Yi, and the Marshal Li Shu all came to Chou. Everyone considered Ding to have talent for employing, and moreover he held in his hands strong troops. They recommended Fan to make use of Ding as General of the Best of the Army and Inspector of Yu province. Wei and others became aides and assistants.

Ding as young had great aspirations, because the people of the western land thought of returning home, he wished to establish merit in his home district. He therefore, with the Senior Clerk who Consoles the Army, Wang Pi, and Marshal Chuan Xunhuai, (and the Gentleman of the Palace Writers, Li Xin?)  had plans for sheltering and supporting the King of Qin. He spoke to Chou, Jie, and others, saying:

East of the Mountains is not the place for hegemons and kings, it is not as good as Guanzhong.

The Prefect of Heyang, Fu Chang, presented Ding a letter, advising to serve the King of Qin, go beyond Luoyang, pay respects and bow to the mountains and tombs, straight-away occupy Chang'an, appease and unite the barbarians and Jin, raise up troops to rise in righteousness, carry out the restoration of the ancestral temples, and wipe away the humiliation of the altars of soil and grain. When Ding got the letter, he readily wished to go to Luo. The refugees said the northern road was close to the He, and feared it had been taken and cut off. They wished to go south and head towards Chang'an from the Wu Pass.

Chou and others were people from east of the mountains, and all of them had no wish go west and enter. Xun Fan, and Chou, Jie and others all deserted and scattered. Ding pursued Fan and Zu but did not catch up. Heng and others were killed, only Yi and Shu fled and managed to escape. Thereupon he served the King of Qin on the march. They drove an ox chariot, and hurried from Wan to Wu Pass. They halted in Shangluo, again and again they came across mountain thieves. Ding killed more than a hundred people, and led the remaining multitude west to arrive at Lantian. Ding told the Inspector of Yong province, Jia Ya. Ya at once dispatched provincial troops to welcome and guard.

12th Month [27 December – 24 January], Yan Ding and others served the King of Qin as August Heir-Apparent, and entered Yong City. Of the Rong and Jing of Guanzhong, nobody did not resound in response.

20th September >> Daily Reflection/Commentary on Today’s Saints of the Day for Roman Catholics: Saints Andrew Kim and Paul Chong and Companions of Korea.

Commentary on Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Priest, Paul Chong Hasang and Companions of Korea,

Korea must be unique in that the first seeds of Christianity were planted there by lay people. The Catholic faith came to Korea in the early 17th century, inspired by the reading of some Catholic books which had come from China. (China had a strong cultural influence on Korea and Japan and was one of the reasons why Francis Xavier wanted to go there from Japan.) When the first missionaries arrived in 1836, they found strong and dynamic Catholic communities led almost entirely by lay people.

However, soon after the arrival of the missionaries, especially in the years 1839, 1846 and 1866, the Christians underwent severe persecutions, resulting in at least 8,000 martyrs. Most noteworthy among these were a Korean priest, Andrew Kim Taegon, and a lay catechist, Paul Chong Hasang. The vast majority of the martyrs were lay people and they included men and women, married and single, old and young.

Among the martyrs, there are two names which stand out:

Andrew Kim Tae-gon was Korea’s first Catholic priest. Born on 21 August 1822 of a noble Korean family, Kim Taegon’s parents were converts and his father was subsequently martyred for being a practicing Christian. Andrew began his priestly studies at the seminary in Macau and, six years later, was ordained a priest in Shanghai. He then returned to Korea to preach the Gospel. During the Joseon Dynasty, Christianity was strongly suppressed, resulting in the persecution of many Christians (Catholics and Protestants) and their execution. The Catholic faith had to go underground. Andrew was one of thousands who gave their life for their faith at this time. In 1846, when he was just 25 years of age, he was tortured and beheaded. Among his last words were: “This is my last hour of life, listen to me attentively. If I have held communication with foreigners, it has been for my religion and for my God. It is for Him that I die. My immortal life is on the point of beginning. Become Christians if you wish to be happy after death, because God has eternal chastisements in store for those who have refused to know Him.”

Macau’s famous Camoes Garden (in Portuguese, Jardim Luis de Camoes) contains a statue dedicated to Andrew Kim Taegon. A plaque below it indicates dates and events of the major milestones in his life.

Paul Chong Hasang was born in 1795. He was the son of Augustine Chong Yakchong, one of Korea’s first converts to Christianity who was himself martyred in 1801 during the persectuion of Shin-Yu. When Yakjong was martyred with Hasang’s older brother, Yakjong’s wife and the other children were spared and took shelter in the countryside. Hasang was then seven years old.

As a layman, Paul reunited the scattered Christians and encouraged them to keep living their faith. For this he wrote the first catechism for the Korean Church entitled Joo Gyo Yo Ji. He also wrote the Sang-Je-Sang-Su which explained to the Korean government why the Church was no threat to the country.

Paul was employed as a servant to the diplomatic corps and this enabled him to travel to China and Beijing on at least nine occasions. While he was there he tried to persuade the bishop in Beijing to send missionary priests to Korea. Through the good offices of the bishop he sent letters to Pope Gregory XVI (1831-46) in Rome requesting the establishment of a diocese in Korea independent of Beijing. On 9 September 1831, Pope Gregory announced the setting up of a Korean diocese.

In 1836 Bishop Laurent-Marie-Joseph Imbert MEP arrived with two priests of his Society as the first Vicar Apostolic for Korea (and Titular Bishop of Capsa). The bishop found Paul to be gifted, zealous and virtuous. He taught him Latin and theology and was about to ordain him priest when the Gi Hye persecution of 1839 broke out. Hasang was captured and made a statement to his judge, defending his Catholic faith. The judge, after reading it, said, “You are right in what you have written but the king forbids this religion and it is your duty to renounce it.” To which Paul replied, “I have told you that I am a Christian, and will be one until the day of my death.” Paul was then put through a series of tortures during which he remained calm. He was bound to a cross on a cart and courageously met his death. He died on 21 September 1839 and was just 45 years of age. Bishop Imbert was also a martyr at this time.

Among the 103 martyrs being commemorated today there were also Ignatius, the father of Andrew Kim, two other bishops; seven priests of the Missions Etrangeres de Paris (MEP, Paris Foreign Missions Society). There was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of twenty-six. She was put in prison, pierced with hot awls and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals but not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. A boy of thirteen, Peter Ryou, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old noble, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death.

In 1925 79 Korean martyrs were beatified by Pope Pius XI and 24 more in 1968 by Pope Paul VI. On 6 May 1984, all 103 were canonised together as saints by Pope John Paul II. In a break with tradition, the ceremony did not take place in Rome, but in Seoul.

Today there are approximately four million Catholics in Korea and has the fourth largest number of saints in the Catholic world.
