Czechoslovakian Hussite Church Concert

Late one afternoon in Prague we quite literally wandered into a side door of this church.  We try to alternate our street sights with indoor sights so Allen and I the children can rest.  Once inside we discovered there was a concert in progress. It had been at intermission when we entered.  We were able to enjoy the end of the performance and Abbie caught a nap.  Someone else appears to be snoozing as well, but he will tell you he was awake. <g>  He gets a kitchen pass for this one since he had run 13 miles earlier in the day.

This was possibly the most magnificent chandelier I have ever seen.  Ever.

Actually it looks like Kieran nodded off as well.  Please excuse the exhausted Americans. : )

  1. Nor did I! I think the church was originally Catholic however since it far predates the denomination and is full of depictions of saints which is not in keeping with their practice.

  2. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing! Just exquisite. The church details, the chandelier, the faces, it’s all a huge blessing. I really appreciate your sharing your journey this way.

  3. How beautiful!! I’d say the music was soo beautiful that it lulled those Americans to sleep. πŸ™‚ Nosko is Czechoslovakian! I really need to find out where exactly Mike’s ancestors came from. Thank you for sharing.
