God passed along the streets of Pariacoto.\u201d<br \/>\nTo mark the occasion, Peru\u2019s Ambassador to Poland, Alberto SALAS BARAHONA, sent a letter to the participants of the ceremony. He said that although the two priests from Poland were killed in Pariacoto in 1991, their memory continues to live on in Peru. He added: \u201cMay the memory of these martyrs from Poland, five years after their beatification, contribute to ever more cordial relations between the nations of Poland and Peru, countries which share the same Christian values.\u201d<br \/>\nFinally, one should mention, that in the five years since the beatification of our martyrs, their relics can already be found in 398 churches around the world.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, go to: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meczennicy.franciszkanie.pl\">www.meczennicy.franciszkanie.pl<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Friar Jan M.
