Algerian martyrs bear witness to Christian-Muslim peace, Pope Francis says

Nuns and others stand next to a photograph of Bishop Pierre Claverie at his grave in St. Mary's Cathedral, where a vigil was held, in Oran, Algeria, Dec. 7. The vigil was to prepare for the Dec. 8 beatification of Bishop Claverie and a group of 18 others, who were martyred in the course of the Algerian civil war.
VATICAN – The lives of 19 religious men and women martyred during the Algerian civil war are a testament to God's plan of love and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims, Pope Francis said.
