Blessed Cassien of Nantes was a Capuchin priest, missionary and martyr. Born Gonzalve Vaz Lopez-Netto on 14 January 1607 in Nantes to parents of Portuguese ancestry,[1] he traveled with fellow Capuchin Blessed Agathange of Vendome through Syria, Egypt and Ethiopia. Accused of preaching to the Copts, they were ordered to be killed by a blow to the head by the King of Gondar. They were martyred on 7 August 1638.[2]
