A martyr can be beatified without a miracle, but most candidates require one miracle for beatification and another for canonization.

 How the Vatican verifies miracles. - By Charles Duhigg - Slate Magazine
On Sunday, Pope John Paul II beatified Mother Teresa of Calcutta, bringing her one step closer to sainthood.
To be beatified, in most cases, a person must have performed a miracle from beyond the grave; on Oct. 1, the Vatican certified that Teresa, who died in 1997, had miraculously cured one woman's cancerous tumor sometime in 1998.
Now martyrs—those killed because of their Catholic faith—can be beatified even if they don't perform a miracle.
