In this week’s episode of the Hot Mess History Podcast, Sarah and Alora take you back to the height of the French Revolution, where a group of women chose faith and solidarity over survival. Known today as the Martyrs of Compiègne, these Carmelite nuns faced the guillotine with courage, walking together to their deaths while singing hymns.

Their story isn’t just about martyrdom — it’s about defiance, unity, and the power of conviction in a time when chaos ruled France. We’ll explore who these women were, the events that led to their arrest, and why their final act became a powerful symbol that has echoed for centuries.

Join us as we uncover the haunting and inspiring tale of the women who sang on their way to the blade.
