35 Kandhamal martyrs

On November 2, All Souls’ Day, the faithful of the Archdiocese of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar, in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, gathered to remember not only their departed loved ones but also the Kandhamal martyrs, those who lost their lives during the anti-Christian violence of 2007–2008.

Rajendra said, “It is a proud moment for me that my father died for the faith in Christ. He is the true witness to the whole world of firm faith in God.”
