Like all the others, on 19 July 1936 they had to flee the school and find refuge wherever they could. They wandered around the city for a few days and finally decided to return to their village of origin, Aragon; but to do so they had to cross Valencia. When they arrived in the city they realised that it was impossible to cross it. Brother Honorato was welcomed into the home of the Adelantado family and later, despite the danger, the other two. But on 22nd October, at 1.30am, a group of militiamen arrived at their home, arrested them and took them to the Cheka of the Seminary. They were murdered the same day in Benimaclet, a village near Valencia.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The other two belonged to the formation house in Cambrils (Barcelona) and were murdered in Paterna (Valencia) on 22 November of the same year.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-custom17);border-color:var(--awb-custom17);border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><nav class=\"fusion-breadcrumbs fusion-breadcrumbs-1\" style=\"--awb-breadcrumb-sep:&#039;\/&#039;;\" aria-label=\"Breadcrumb\"><ol class=\"awb-breadcrumb-list\"><\/ol><\/nav><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:25%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:7.68%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:7.68%;--awb-width-medium:25%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:7.68%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:7.68%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 sep-underline sep-solid fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom17);--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-custom17);--awb-font-size:22px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;font-size:1em;\">Important dates<\/h2><\/div><ul style=\"--awb-line-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-width:27.2px;--awb-icon-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-margin:11.2px;--awb-content-margin:38.4px;--awb-circlecolor:var(--awb-custom17);--awb-circle-yes-font-size:14.08px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-1 fusion-checklist-default type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-star-half far\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n<p><strong>Liturgical memorial: November 6<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-star-half far\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n<p>11\/03\/2001: Beatification (together with others for a total of 228 martyrs) \u2013 H.H.
