EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print depicts a group of Waldensian missionaries disguised as pedlars, taken from the illustration in James Aitken Wylie's "The History of Protestantism" published in 1878. The Waldensians, also known as Waldenses or Vaudois, were a Christian movement and religious cultural group that emerged in Lyons during the late 12th century. This image showcases their resilience and determination to spread their beliefs despite facing persecution from the Roman Catholic Church. In an era marked by conflict between different religious factions, the Waldensians embraced apostolic poverty as a path to spiritual perfection. However, their views clashed with those of the Catholic Church, which branded them heretical. Undeterred by this opposition, they took on disguises such as pedlars to continue preaching their message covertly. This fascinating visual captures not only the bravery of these missionary preachers but also highlights how they adapted to survive amidst religious persecution. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by early Protestants during medieval times and sheds light on one particular sect within Christianity that ultimately embraced the Protestant Reformation. Through this historical photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Christian history when individuals risked everything for their faith. The image invites us to reflect upon our own convictions and appreciate those who have fought for religious freedom throughout centuries past.
