| Abstract: | It was the custom at the Venerable English College in Rome during the most severe period of persecution of Catholics in England and Wales (roughly 1580–1680), that whenever news of the martyrdom of an alumnus reached the College, the community would gather around the famous ‘Martyrs’ Picture’ in the College Church to sing a Te Deum in thanksgiving. That custom is continued each year on 1 December, which from 1934 onwards has been kept as the feast of the College Martyrs. |
