Description In 1900 in China during the Boxer Rebellion killed 30,000 Christians of different denominations.

222 of those killed have been identified, their relics were collected and buried in the crypt of the newly built church of All Saints Martyrs in Beijing, but during the "cultural revolution", this temple was destroyed, and his crypt is flooded. In 1902, the Chinese martyrs were canonized by the Russian Church as a locally venerated saints. Chinese New Martyrs before 1917 was compiled and written by a special service icon.

Holy Martyrs Chinese, pray God for us, a great sinner!

Merciful God, strengthen us in faith and piety, just as you, Father, strengthened the martyrs still loyal to you.

Amen.
