In the final, chaotic days of the French Revolution, a small community of Carmelite nuns made a decision that would echo through history.
In this episode, we tell the haunting and deeply moving story of the Martyrs of Compiègne—sixteen women who refused to abandon their religious vows, even under the looming threat of the guillotine. As the Reign of Terror intensified, they were arrested, tried, and sentenced to death simply for living out their faith. What followed at the scaffold became unforgettable.
This is not just a story about death, but a story of courage, and the price one is willing to pay to remain faithful to their beliefs.
