Huguenots
Okay kiddo, do you know what a Huguenot is?
Well, a really long time ago, in the 1500s, there were some people in France who believed in different ways of being Christian. They were called Huguenots.
But, some people in France didn't like that the Huguenots worshiped differently, so those people made rules that said the Huguenots had to be the same kind of Christian as everyone else.
The Huguenots didn't like that, so some of them decided to leave France and go to other countries where they could worship the way they wanted to.
They went to places like Germany, England, and even the United States. They didn't always have an easy time, but they kept their beliefs and practices and made new lives for themselves.
Today, there are still people who are descendants of the Huguenots, and they are proud of their history and culture.
