EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Medieval stele, erected in 1960, situated in the meadow of Burned (Camp dels Cremats) at Montsegur in the Ariege region of France. The stele commemorates the Cathars, a religious minority who were burned as heretics during the 13th century following the Crusade led by Pope Innocent III. The inscription on the stele reads, "Here, on March 16, 1324, the last of the Cathars, the defenders of Montsegur, surrendered." The Cathars, also known as Albigenses or Albigensians, were a Christian sect that emerged in the 11th century and held beliefs that deviated from the Roman Catholic Church. Their teachings emphasized the dualistic nature of the universe, with a belief in two gods, one good and one evil. This belief, among others, led to their persecution and eventual eradication. The stele, a modern-day tribute to the Cathars, stands tall against the backdrop of the Montsegur castle ruins. The grassy open air of the meadow provides a stark contrast to the somber history it holds. The star-shaped commemorative cross on the stele adds a poignant touch, symbolizing hope and renewal. The Cathar Route, a popular tourist attraction, offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the Middle Ages, allowing them to explore the sites of significance related to the Cathars. Montsegur, with its historic castle and the stele, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in European history and religious studies.
