Tibhirine Monks Beatified In Algeria

Papal envoy Cardinal Angelo Becciu (C) guides the ceremony at the Chapel of our Lady of Santa Cruz in Algeria's northern city of Oran, during which seven French monks and 12 other clergy killed during the country's civil war were beatified, on December 8, 2018. On the right hangs a banner with the names and the photographs of the slain clergy. Papal envoy Cardinal Angelo Becciu read the official decree stating that the 19 men and women would "from now on be called blessed" at an event in the coastal city, the first ceremony of its kind in a Muslim nation. The 19 Roman Catholic clergy were killed between 1994 and 1996 as Algeria was in the grips of a decade-long civil war between government forces and Islamists that left up to 200,000 people dead.
