Pratulin Martyrs
The Pratulin Martyrs were a group of 13 Greek Catholic believers killed by the Imperial Russian Army on January 24, 1874 in the village of Pratulin, near Biała Podlaska. Following the secularization and de-legalization of the Eparchy of Chełm), the Russian authorities forcibly subdued all Belorussian Catholics and their churches to the Russian Orthodox Church.
In a protest against the Russification and confiscation of the church, the Greek Catholic community gathered in front of the church, but were fired upon by the Russian forces, killing 13 of the protesters. The Ruthenian Catholic Church has erected a shrine to their memory there.
The massacre in Pratulin was the best documented among many such events that took place in the region of South Podlasie, and thus was chosen by the Latin Rite dioceses of Siedlce to present the case for their beatification in 1938 to represent the martyrs considered to have given their life for faith and Christian unity during those times. They were beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 6, 1996. In 1998 some of their relics were transferred to the Byzantine-Slavonic Rite church in nearby Kostomłoty, where the Shrine of the Martyrs of Pratulin was established.
