The Martyrs of Natal were a group of 30 Catholic people of Colonial Brazil – two of them priests – killed in the northern part of the territory in massacres led by a group of Dutch Calvinists. One priest was a Colonial Brazilian Jesuit missionary, while the other priest was an evangelizer. The others were all lay Catholics, most of them anonymous members of the Church, some of them children.
