In this Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, photo, a Catholic devotee kisses a sacramental with an image of the seven martyrs at cemetery during the 30th anniversary of the beatification of seven martyrs at Songkhon in Mukdahan province, northeastern of Thailand. In 1940, seven villagers here were executed for refusing to abandon their Catholic faith, which Thai nationalists had equated with loyalty to France, whose colonial army in neighboring Indochina had fought Thailand in a brief border war. The seven were beatified in 1989 by Pope John Paul II, the first step to being named a saint.(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit)
