## Bio

Born around 1562, Paulo Miki became a Catholic evangelist and joined the Jesuits in a country where the faith had only recently taken root. When a 16th-century anti-Catholic uprising swept Japan, he was among twenty-six believers arrested and condemned. On February 5, 1597, he was executed. More than two and a half centuries later, Pope Pius IX canonized him in 1862, formally recognizing Miki and his companions as the Twenty-six Martyrs of Japan.
