Biography

Saint Barbara Choe Yon-gi was born in Seoul, Korea.[1][2][3] Her parents were Peter Ch'oe Ch'ang-hŭb and Magdalene Son.[citation needed] Choe was a devout Catholic and demanded that whoever she married be a fervent Catholic when her parents came to arrange her marriage.[4] She married Carlos Cho, who was 44, when she was 20, and they had one son.[4]

In 1840, Choe was captured and brought to court to renounce her Christian beliefs,[1] but refused even when tortured.[4] She was sentenced to death by beheading and was executed on 1 February 1840 in Dangkogae, Seoul, Korea.[1]

Choe was recognized as a martyr and beatified by Pope Pius XI on 5 July 1925.[2] She was canonised by Pope John Paul II on 6 May 1984, as one of the 103 Korean martyrs.[2][4][5]

Her feast day is on 1 September.[1]
