EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures a significant moment in the history of the Waldenses, a Christian sect that originated in 12th century France. Despite facing persecution from Rome, these devoted followers of Christ remained steadfast in their commitment to simplicity and poverty. In this scene, we witness a Waldenses missionary/troubadour proudly displaying his vernacular Bible to a trusted visitor. The year is circa 1170, and the missionary's face radiates with passion as he shares the sacred scriptures translated into his native language. This act symbolizes not only their unwavering faith but also their determination to make religious texts accessible to all. The image beautifully portrays the essence of this religious community - resilient individuals who defied convention and clung tightly to their beliefs despite being labeled as heretics by mainstream society. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those who dared challenge established religious authorities during this period. Preserved through time, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into history, shedding light on both religious persecution and devotion. As we observe this powerful image captured by Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG), it prompts us to reflect on how faith can inspire people to endure hardships while remaining true to their convictions.
