Blessed Ignatius Maloyan (1869–1915) was an Armenian Catholic Archbishop and a martyr who gave his life for his faith during the Armenian Genocide. Born in Mardin, Turkey, he devoted his entire life to Christ and the Church. This video tells the powerful and heartbreaking story of his calling, priesthood, persecution, and ultimate martyrdom for the love of Jesus Christ.

Learn about his journey from a young seminarian to Archbishop, his faith during persecution, and how he inspired hundreds to remain steadfast even in the face of death. His final words, “Into your hands, I commend my spirit,” echo through history as a testament of courage and faith.

🙏 May the life of Blessed Ignatius Maloyan inspire us to stand firm in faith, forgive our enemies, and live as witnesses to Christ’s love.
