Lay men and women, families, catechists, priests and missionaries chose martyrdom rather than abandon their faith.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1114\">Today, the Church they helped establish is vibrant and visible throughout South Korea.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1151\">This pilgrimage follows that story.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1865\">Beginning in <strong data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1175\">Seoul<\/strong>, we walk portions of the city&#8217;s Catholic pilgrimage routes, visit the great cathedral of Myeongdong and pray at places associated with Korea&#8217;s first believers and martyrs.
