Thank you for this list. I’ve been reading though the lives of the Cristeros and the details of their deaths are very striking. “Por Dios vivimos y por Él morimos.” (“For God we live and for Him we die.”) + St. Agustín Caloca Cortés.
It’d be interesting to know whose other relics were present at the ceremony; I remember mention of St. Anne, St. Thomas of Canterbury, and (I think) St. John Vianney.
