Çiprian Nika (Shkodër, June 19, 1900 – March 11, 1948) was an Albanian Franciscan, teacher, and publicist. The diocesan process for his beatification was announced on November 10, 2002, by Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, then Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, during the Eucharist at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Shkodër. Nika was canonized on November 5, 2016, in the square in front of the cathedral.[1]
Biography
He was born in Shkodër as Deda, son of Mëhill Nikë and Prenda Ali Mirashi[2] from the village of Celaj (now Shosh). Deda was orphaned of his mother at the age of five and brought to a local Franciscan orphanage.[3] He excelled as a student and took his calling in the Order of Saint Francis. He entered the priesthood on October 16, 1916; took the provisional conditions on October 23, 1917; was ordained on September 16, 1921; and celebrated his first Mass on July 25, 1924.[2]
After completing his theological studies in Austria, he took the Franciscan name Cyprian in the Order of Friars Minor. He returned to Shkodër to teach at the Illyricum school. Under the direction of Father Martin Gjoka, he also participated in the Franciscan wind orchestra of around 40 people, in which he played the flute.
In 1939, he took over the post of provincial deputy, succeeding Mati Prennushi as provincial guardian in 1943.
With the advent of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, Nika was arrested and accused of hiding weapons. On December 28, 1947, the Trial Panel ruled that he was to die by firing squad and that Pal Dodaj of Janjevo was to be imprisoned for life. Nika was shot on March 11, 1948, at 5:00 in the morning, in the prison surrounded by his associates.[4]
