Huguenot heritage

Huguenot heritage refers to the legacy of French Protestants who faced religious persecution in 16th and 17th-century France. Originating during the Reformation, they sought religious freedom and often migrated to other countries, including England, the Netherlands, South Africa, and North America. Huguenots contributed significantly to their new communities through skills, trades, and cultural influences. Their heritage is characterized by a strong emphasis on religious conviction, resilience, and cultural preservation amid adversity. Today, Huguenot descendants maintain a sense of identity rooted in history, faith, and the stories of perseverance against opposition.
