Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was born on August 15th 1917 in Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador. He was man who fought for the poor and wanted them to have what we people have now. He was a very inspiring man who spoke against poverty, social injustice, torture and assassinations.

Oscar Romero helped others by giving them hope and saying that people should give them a fair chance. He had made the rich and the powerful people angry because when he talked on the radio he was speaking up for the poor. So the government blew up the radio station.

On the afternoon of March 24th 1980 Bishop Oscar Romero was blessing the Eucharist and Wine and BANG. He was on the floor and the nuns ran up to him and put the cross and him and had blessed him. Others stayed in their seats and cried and prayed. Oscar Romero became a martyr on the 3rd of February 2015.
