EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving from "Our Own Magazine" takes us back to the 16th century, capturing a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts Thomas Bilney, an English martyr, bravely walking towards his tragic fate at Bishopsgate in London. Condemned to death for heresy, Bilney's unwavering faith led him to become a symbol of resistance against religious persecution. The square-shaped illustration showcases a large group of people gathered around the scene. Their expressions range from curiosity and disbelief to sorrow and empathy. This snapshot offers a glimpse into British culture during this era, where religious beliefs held immense power over society. The engraved image transports us back to 1881 when it was published in "Our Own Magazine". It serves as a reminder of the historical significance attached to Bilney's sacrifice and the lasting impact he had on Christianity. As we reflect upon this haunting depiction, let us remember those who faced punishment for their beliefs throughout history. May their stories continue to inspire courage and resilience in our own lives today.
