The Waldensians: A Hidden History of Faith, Persecution, and Survival

📖 Who were the Waldensians?
Ever wonder about one of the oldest Christian movements that stood against all odds? The Waldensians, founded in the 12th century by Peter Waldo, believed in preaching in poverty and making the Bible accessible in local languages. Their radical ideas led to centuries of persecution, yet they never disappeared. Instead, they joined the Protestant Reformation and kept their faith alive.

Today, the Waldensian Church still exists in Italy and South America, a living reminder of the fight for religious freedom—a right that so many have fought and died for, but one that many take for granted.

⚔️ Would you risk everything for your faith? Let’s take a moment to reflect.
