Edmund Campion was an English priest and scholar who became a Catholic martyr. Born on January 24, 1540, he was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and later became a professor of Greek. Campion's dedication to the Catholic faith led him to become a Jesuit priest, despite the risks involved. He was arrested in 1580 and executed for his faith on December 1, 1581. His courage and steadfastness in the face of persecution have made him a revered figure in the Catholic Church.
