Chinese Martyrs(traditional Chinese: 中華殉道聖人;simplified Chinese: 中华圣烈士;pinyin: Zhōnghuá shéng lièshì; Wade–Giles: Chung1-hua2 shêng4-lieh4-shih4) isthe name given to a number of members of the Catholic Church and the EasternOrthodox Church who were killed in China during the 19th and early 20thcenturies. They are celebrated as martyrs by their respective churches. Mostwere Chinese laity, but others were missionaries from various other countries;many of them died during the Boxer Rebellion.

TheEastern Orthodox Church recognizes 222 Orthodox Christians who died during theBoxer Rebellion as \"Holy Martyrs of China\". On the evening of June 11,1900, leaflets were posted in thestreets, calling for the massacre of the Christians and threatening death to anyonewho would dare to shelter them.

They weremostly members of the Chinese Orthodox Church, which had been under theguidance of the Russian Orthodox since the 17th century and maintained closerelations with them, especially in the large Russian community in Harbin. Theyare called new martyrs, as they died under a modern regime. The first of thesemartyrs was Metrophanes, Chi Sung, leader of the Peking Mission, who waskilled, along with his family, during the Boxer Rebellion. A total of 222 members of the Peking Mission died.

The RomanCatholic Church recognizes 120 Catholics who died between 1648 and 1930 as its\"Martyr Saints of China\". They were canonized by Pope John Paul II on1 October 2000. Of the group, 87 were Chinese laypeople and 33 weremissionaries; 86 died during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The Chinese MartyrsCatholic Church in Toronto, Ontario was given this name to honor them.

ManyProtestants also died during the Boxer Rebellion, including the \"ChinaMartyrs of 1900\", but there is no formal veneration (according to theirreligious beliefs) nor a universally recognized list.

At least189 missionaries and 500 native Chinese Protestant Christians were murdered in1900 alone. Though some missionaries considered themselves non-denominationallyProtestant, among those killed were Baptists, Evangelicals, Anglicans,Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and Plymouth Brethren.
