In the Catholic church, a martyr of charity is someone who dies as a result of administering Christian charity. While a martyr of the faith dies through being persecuted for being a Catholic or Christian, a martyr of charity dies through practising charity motivated by Christianity. This is a form of martyrdom recognised for canonization by recent popes, beginning with John XXIII.
