There is little written in English about the saints and martyrs of the Dutch reformation, and these few lines have enlightened my ignorance about it. I have a firm conviction that the lost Miraculous Host of the 1345 Eucharistic miracle at Amsterdam will be found and restored to rightful honor shortly before the re-conversion of the Netherlands to the Catholic faith.
