Summary:For many years one number has been provided every year to report on the annual number of Christian martyrs. This is provided by the "Status of Global Mission." The number is quoted by various institutions but only produced by one institution. At present it is most frequently quoted by the papal missions agency "Aid to the Church in Need". It reports 130,000 - 170,000 martyrs per year but does not conduct any of its own investigations.
