EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled ""The assemblies were sometimes held in a wood, when crowds flocked to hear the Word of God, " takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a gathering of devout Protestants amidst the serene beauty of a woodland setting. As rays of sunlight filter through the dense canopy above, an air of reverence and anticipation fills the atmosphere. Intriguingly, these clandestine assemblies were organized during times when practicing Protestantism was met with persecution. The faithful would seek solace and spiritual nourishment in these hidden groves, away from prying eyes and potential danger. Despite the risks involved, large crowds would flock to these gatherings eagerly awaiting their turn to hear the sacred teachings. This engraving serves as an illustration for "The Book of Martyrs" by John Foxe edited by William Bramley-Moore (Cassell, c 1880), which chronicles stories of martyrdom endured by early Christians who stood firm in their beliefs. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who sought religious freedom and clung steadfastly to their Christian values. Through this artwork's intricate details and skillful execution, we are transported back in time to witness this powerful display of faith. It stands as a testament not only to Christianity but also highlights humanity's enduring quest for spiritual enlightenment even under challenging circumstances. "
