from 1977 – 1980 El Salvador was on the brink of civil war. AB Oscar Romero was a voice of hope for the poor and victims of human rights abuses.

Let my blood be a seed of freedom and the sign that hope will soon be reality”
AB O R became the voice of the Salvadorian People
Today his perseverance is a symbol of hope for all persecuted Christians across the world.
