On August 24, 1572, the Roman Catholics of France murdered Admiral Gaspard de Coligny along with 30,000 other Huguenots (French Protestants). Over 70,000 were butchered in the provinces. That day of infamy is now known as the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalms 116:15).
