'''Saint Andrew Kim Taegon''' (born 21 August 1821, died 16 September 1846) was a [[Saints|Korean saint]], [[Priest|priest]], and martyr, revered as the first native Korean Catholic priest and a pioneer of Christianity in Korea. Born in Solmoe, Chungcheong Province, Korea, to a noble yangban family with Christian roots, he embraced Catholicism despite intense persecution under the Joseon Dynasty. Educated in Macau and ordained in Shanghai in 1845, he returned to Korea to evangelize, only to be arrested and beheaded at Saenamteo, Seoul, during a wave of anti-Christian purges. Canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984 alongside 102 Korean Martyrs, his relics are venerated at various Korean shrines, and he is honored in the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions.<ref name="web0">{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Kim_Taegon|title=Andrew Kim Taegon|publisher=Wikipedia|accessdate=2025-06-14}}</ref><ref name="web1">{{cite web|url=https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-andrew-kim-taegon-and-companions|title=Saint Andrew Kim Taegon and Companions|publisher=FranciscanMedia.org|accessdate=2025-06-14}}</ref> | '''Saint Andrew Kim Taegon''' (born 21 August 1821, died 16 September 1846) was a [[Saints|Korean saint]], [[Priest|priest]], and martyr, revered as the first native Korean Catholic priest and a pioneer of Christianity in Korea.
