EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a scene of religious devotion amidst persecution. The illustration, taken from James Aitken Wylie's "The History of Protestantism" showcases Taborites worshipping in a cave. In this clandestine gathering, we witness men, women, and children seeking solace and spiritual connection within the sheltered confines of the cave. Their faces are illuminated by candlelight as they fervently read from their cherished Bibles. Each individual is engrossed in their own personal communion with God, finding strength and hope despite being labeled as heretics during the Hussite Wars. The image captures not only the resilience of these persecuted believers but also highlights the power of faith to sustain individuals through challenging times. It serves as a poignant reminder that even when faced with adversity and forced into hiding, people will find ways to worship together. The Taborites' commitment to their beliefs is palpable; it transcends gender and age barriers as families gather side by side in this sacred space. Through this engraving, we glimpse into a pivotal moment in history where religion was both a source of unity and division. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on our own freedoms today while acknowledging those who have fought for religious liberty throughout history.
