...with statues of 20th c. Saints:
Maximilian Colbe: Polish priest. Died as prisoner 16770 in Auschwitz. He offered his own life to save a fellow prisoner (father of several children), condemned to death by the camp authorities after a successful escape by an other prisoner.
Elizabeth the Russia: She gave away her jewellery and sold her most luxurious possessions, and with the proceeds she opened the Martha and Mary home in Moscow, to foster the prayer and charity of devout women.
Martin Luther King: Martin Luther King's prophetic vision combined an explicitly Christian language of freedom and justice with an appeal to American democracy. Peaceful protests would affirm the dignity of African-Americans and embarrass their oppressors before the eyes of the world. Violence bred violence only. Love must reply to hate. In 1967 Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Lucian Tapiedi: In 1941 he became part of the staff at Sangara (Northern Papua) as a teacher and evangelist. On 21 July 1942 the Japanese invaded the island near the mission station. They had to run for their lives. They came to a village inhabited by the Orokaiva people. One of the Orokaiva, a man named Hivijapa, killed Tapiedi. The remainder of the group perished soon after; six of them beheaded by the Japanese on Buna beach. 333 Christians lost their lives in New Guinea during the invasion. Now a shrine marks the place where Lucian Tapiedi died. His killer later converted to Christianity. He took the name Hivijapa Lucian, and built a church dedicated to the memory of his victim.
