March 24th marks the Church’s day of prayer for missionary martyrs, in memory of Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero who was murdered while celebrating Mass on that day in 1980.
During Romero’s beatification in San Salvador last May, March 24th was also recognized as his feast day, yet this year the date marks Holy Thursday and will therefore not be celebrated as an official saints day.
Julian Filochowsky, the head of the London-based Romero Trust, spoke to Vatican Radio about the coincidence of Romero’s first feast day falling on the Thursday of Holy Week
