Martyrs for the sacraments of the Catholic Church
Martyrs for the sacraments of the Catholic Church are Catholic Christians whom the Catholic Church remembers for sacrificing themselves rather than commit sacrilege against one of the seven sacraments of the church. Catholic martyrdom is in imitation of Philippians 2:5-8, which is based on self-sacrifice in Jewish law.
