Italy: Relics of St Francis of Asisi – Placed on Display! (23.2.2026)

23/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.

China: Remains of 43 “Korean War” Chinese Martyrs Returned to Homeland! (29.11.2024)

The ceremony was also livestreamed online. Among the viewers were faculty and students of a primary school in Shenyang, which was named after CPV martyr Mao Anying, the son of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong. In memory of the martyrs, the students had selected personal gifts to take to the martyr’s cemetery at a later date.

“My gift is a scarf,” said a girl. “The soldiers braved severe cold and fought in extremely difficult situations. So I hope that it could protect our CPV soldiers from the cold wind.”

Another girl cooked noodles with her mom before school that morning. In north China, it is customary to welcome guests with noodles. “These noodles taste of home,” she said. “The martyrs have returned home.”

A third child brought a model plane. “My dad is a soldier and I grew up listening to his stories about the Korean War. I brought this model so our CPV soldiers can see how strong our motherland is now.”

How the BBC “Reckoned” with Jimmy Saville! (27.10.2023)

27/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The BBC enabled and facilitated the crimes of Jimmy Saville and when his victims voiced their pain, suffering and anguish, the BBC was at the forefront of supressing these witnesses. The message of the BBC was that the Bourgeois is in control of this society – and that the BBC supports that self-declared role. The ordinary people – those who were the victims of Jimmy Saville – were portrayed by the BBC as powerless and existing only to serve as play-things for the Bourgeoisie. When Jimmy Saville died in 2011 – the BBC deliberately ‘celebrated’ his life and ignored the reality of his offending. Today, some 12-years after his death, the BBC is attempting to absolve its own reputation by creating the false narrative that the BBC was just as much a victim of Jimmy Saville as everyone else. Jimmy Saville and the BBC represent exactly the same reality.

The Mysterious ‘2015’ Death of the First Russian Army Soldier – Private Kostenko – to Die in Syria! (22.5.2023)

22/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Having cross-referenced Russian-language texts I can confirm that Sergeant SOKUROV Eduard (СОКУРОВ Эдуард) did indeed die whilst serving in Syria prior to Vadim Kostenko. The distinction seems to be that Vadim Kostenko was ‘Contracted’ to serve a set time and in a set place – and was not a Career Soldier – or a Professional Specialist as was Edward Sokurov. Vadim Kostenko, therefore, was the first ‘ordinary’ Russian Army soldier to ‘die’ in Syria (but was the ‘second’ to die overall). Still, given the Great Patriotic War numbers that are dying in Donbass today – discussion of individual cases of mortality (confronting US hegemony around the world) seems almost superfluous and self-indulgent by comparison!
