Pope Francis canonized more than 800 Catholics in Saint Peter's Square in May of 2013 - the largest number to be elevated to sainthood at once in the history of the Catholic Church. The new saints included hundreds of laymen from the southern Italian port town of Otranto who were slain in the 15th century by the invading Ottoman Turkish army after they refused to convert to Islam. Most of their names remain unknown. For a complete list of all saints canonized bt Pope Francis click here.
