Lorenzo Ngon (+1862)

Biography

He professed the Christian faith from childhood and confessed it in different moments of persecution. He was captured in the second half of 1861, but managed to escape from prison to exhort his family to remain firm in their confession of the Christian faith; Then he spontaneously presented himself to the jailers. He was a model of virtue among the other detainees. The judge promised him freedom if he stepped on the cross; He answered at once that he would rather die than continue living at such a price. After almost nine months of hard prison, he was executed in the presence of his mother and his wife.
