Christophe Lebreton is one of the most popular and richest Trappist Cistercian Monk who was born on October 11, 1950 in Blois, Centre-Val de Loire, France.

Christophe Lebreton OCSO (October 11, 1950 – May 21, 1996) was one of seven Trappist monks from the Our Lady of the Atlas Abbey of Tibhirine near Médéa, Algeria who were kidnapped and killed during the Algerian Civil War. He was recognized as a martyr by Pope Francis in January 2018, and proclaimed Blessed on December 8, 2018 in Oran, Algeria, along with the other martyrs of Algeria. His writings, published after his death, reveal his poetry and spiritual depth. The murder of the monks of Tibhirine gained widespread attention in the prize-winning film Of Gods and Men.

In 1974, he abandoned his legal studies in Tours to enter the Trappist Tamié Abbey, Savoy and made his religious profession in 1980. After a period of monastic formation, desiring a simpler life and responding to a call for reinforcement, he changed his stability to the Algerian monastery of Our Lady of the Atlas. He was ordained priest by Bishop Henri Teissier in 1993. In the monastery his work responsibilities included liturgy, farming, vineyards, and gardening. He was also subprior of the monastery as well as novice master.
