Thomas Son Chasuhn

Thomas Son (손자선 토마스 1838-1866) was a Korean Catholic martyr. He had a grave and calm personality. He never omitted praying the evening prayers with his family no matter how busy he was. When Bishop Daveluy was arrested, an authority came to confiscate the money. While others were too afraid to do anything about it, Thomas followed him and demanded the money back. He was severely tortured with amazing constancy and gladness. When fellow Catholics buried him four days later and reburied him somewhere else 20 days later, his body was found to be incorrupt and did not have any bad smell to it.
