The 1927 execution of Miguel Pro in Mexico is one of the seminal events of the 20th century for the Catholic faith. He was falsely accused of plotting a bombing and assassination and executed with no evidence or trial. His sacrifice to the faith has led to Miguel Pro being beatified in Rome on September 25, 1988, by Pope John Paul II as a Catholic martyr, killed in odium fidei . The photo is crystal clear and off the original negative, making this one of the only images to achieve this status in the entire world! Issued by NEA and stamped on the back with a paper caption as well, this is an important piece of history that is being offered here for the first time ever.
