At the time, Scripture in England was kept in Latin, out of reach for almost everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWycliffe and his followers set out to change that. The handwritten English Bibles that came out of his movement, now called the Wycliffe Bible, were copied and passed hand to hand at real risk. He was condemned by church authorities, and his followers were hunted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died in 1384, but they weren't finished with him. Decades later his writings were declared heretical, and in 1428 his remains were dug up, burned, and his ashes thrown into the River Swift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt didn't work. People later said the river carried his ashes to the sea, the way his teaching spread to the world. Within a few generations the Bible in English was everywhere. He's remembered as the \"Morning Star of the Reformation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy we wear it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome days it looks like the truth is losing: at work, in the news, in your own family. Wycliffe lived his whole life on the losing side and never saw the win. He believed it was coming anyway. Wear this for the long game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the band\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable silicone wristband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuote wraps around the band, with the Fossil Words ammonite seal in the middle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImages are design previews.
