Adventistische Schriften über: "Vegetarian"

The provided documents do not contain the term “vegetarian”, but they include detailed information about the Waldensians (Vaudois/Waldenses), who are often called “people of the valleys”. They were biblical Christians, scattered throughout Europe, including Bulgaria, and are known for their fidelity to Scripture and resilience against persecution. Historical data emphasize their origin from the Alpine valleys and their spread to regions such as Russia, Poland, and the Balkans.

Origin and spread of the Waldensians

»More precise recent studies trace the origin of the Waldensians to a dual source... On one hand, these are the Vaudois, “people of the valleys”, who still occupy their ancient sites in the mountains of Dauphiné and Piedmont; on the other hand, the so‑called “poor people of Lyon”, followers of Peter Valdo.«

»These Piedmont valleys, where the Waldensians have long flourished and still live, number seven, separated by high mountain ranges. ... Each valley is a fortress with its own entrance and exit, its own caves and mighty cliffs.«
