Commemorate the courage of the Massabki Brothers—Francis, Abdel-Moati, and Raphael—three Maronite laymen martyred in Damascus in 1860, with this beautifully designed prayer card.
During the violent persecution of Christians in Damascus, the three brothers sought refuge in a Franciscan monastery. When confronted by a mob and given the choice to convert or die, they stood firm and proclaimed their faith in Christ, refusing to renounce Him. Their steadfast courage cost them their lives, but won them the crown of martyrdom.
Beatified in 1926 by Pope Pius XI, the Massabki Martyrs are remembered each year on July 10 in the Maronite Church as symbols of courage, faith, and brotherhood. They remind us that holiness is not reserved for clergy alone—these were laymen who lived ordinary lives but gave an extraordinary witness when tested.
This Massabki Brothers prayer card is a meaningful devotional item for personal prayer, parish use, or as a gift to inspire others with their heroic story. Printed with care and reverence, it serves as a lasting reminder of their sacrifice and intercession.
Keep their legacy alive by carrying this prayer card in your Bible, wallet, or prayer space, and be strengthened by their witness of faith and love for Christ.
