Pedro Ruiz de los Paños and fellow martyrs (+1936)

Biography

They died martyrs during the Spanish Civil War. Each one of them had an extraordinary human and spiritual quality. They were very valuable people. In their respective educational fields they were making a real transformation. They lived fully dedicated to their work, their seminary and their students. None of them are known to have ideological militancy that was not strictly evangelical. Most of them were very young, some had barely finished their studies and had time to hold positions that involved a social relationship. The elders had a great reputation for simplicity and kindness. They were persecuted solely and exclusively for being priests and they went to death convinced that it was martyrdom and that they gave their lives for Christ.
