TODAY we remember the seminal event in Huguenot History. On the 18th of October in 1685 the Edict of Nantes was revoked by Louis the XIV. The largest persecution of Protestant Christians in France began. Over 400,000 fled to other countries, creating a Protestant Diaspora. Many fled to British and other Colonies around the globe, to be able to practice their religion freely. We honor and remember those who lost their lives, and who made the perilous trip to unknown lands in the quest for freedom.
