Pope Francis Commemorates 21 Christians Slain by the Brutality of ISIS

16 Feb 2021 ROME Pope Francis recalled the sixth anniversary of the Islamic State execution of 21 Christians on a beach in Libya, calling them “our saints.” “Today is the day I have in my heart, that February of 2015,” the pope said in a video-message late Monday. “I hold in my heart that baptism of blood, those twenty-one men baptised as Christians with water and the Spirit, and that day also baptised with blood.” The pontiff was referring to the Islamic State beheading of 21 Coptic Christians on February 15, 2015. The Christians were dressed in orange jump suits and made to kneel in the sand along a Libyan beach near Sirte, where they were executed by the jihadists.
