EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful 19th-century wood engraving captures the essence of the Waldenses, a Christian sect that originated in 12th century France. Known for their devotion to Christ in simplicity and poverty, the Waldensians faced persecution from Rome for their beliefs.
In this image, we see a young Waldensian hiding his vernacular Bible, a symbol of resistance against religious oppression. The act of concealing the sacred text speaks volumes about the courage and determination of these devout followers.
The history of the Waldenses is one marked by struggle and resilience. Despite facing relentless persecution, they remained steadfast in their faith and commitment to living according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Through this wood engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in the lives of these brave individuals. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who dared to challenge authority in pursuit of spiritual truth.
As we reflect on this poignant depiction, let us honor the legacy of the Waldenses and draw inspiration from their unwavering dedication to their beliefs.
