Biography
Blessed Luis Cabrera Sotelo, also known as Luís Barrero, was a devout member of the Franciscan Friars Minor (Observants) and a dedicated priest. Born on 6 September 1574 in Seville, Spain, he grew up in a time of great religious tension, as the Protestant Reformation challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. These circumstances would shape his faith and ultimately lead him to martyrdom.
