Inside, visitors can admire the church's ornate decorations, including frescoes, sculptures, and intricate wood carvings. One of the highlights is the high altar, which features a statue of St. Thomas Aquinas and an elaborate gold and silver altarpiece.

Today marks a big milestone in our modern history. After a 20-year long period, when our country was dealing with an old heritage of communism (in form of pro-russian presidents) we finally elected a new democratic president who honours western values. And who exactly Petr Pavel is?
A former paratrooper and a platoon leader, Former Chief of the General staff of Czech Armed Forces, former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee as well as war hero decorated by the French and the Czech military for his bravery during UN mission in Bosnia in 1993. That's just a very brief summary of the most important achievements.
His election as a new president of Czech Republic brings a lot of hope for a pro-western direction of our government, a good representation of our country around the world as well as strong leader who is ideal for uncertain times like these.
In his personal life he is known for his love of traveling and motorcycles.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this is going to change the course of our country for the better.

Sudek was hit by a gr***de in 1916 at the Italian front.
He lost his right arm, which was amputated by doctors in Graz.
During the years of 1922-1927, he lived in Invalidovna, where the state sponsored his retraining to a professional photographer.
This was the place where he created a series of photographs titled From Invalides (also known as From the Veterans Hospital).

Year 1968 was a final year of what is called Prague Spring. Throughout 1960s communist regime in Czechoslovakia started getting "softer". Communist politicians started calling it "communism with a human face". It practically meant that people were allowed to travel abroad, censorship of press was canceled and people all of a sudden were given more freedoms than ever before. Alexander Dubček, the leader of a communist party, was popular like no other communist leader before.
These changes freaked out Moscow. Brezhnev, who replaced Khrushchev (who was seemed by hardcore communists as "too weak") decided to intervene. Under a cover of "military training of the armies of Warsaw pact" they gathered around Czechoslovakia massive number of troops - around 200 000 men along with 5000 tanks. When Czechoslovakia raised concerns they were calmed down by a simple statement that it is just a military training - nothing to worry about. Suddenly, during the night from 20th-21st of August 1968 troops of Warsaw pact crossed the borders of Czechoslovakia, starting a long lasting occupation.
The official version was that the soviet troops were "invited" into our country on demand of several local politicians, who claimed that "rightwing media caused in Czechoslovakia a wave of anti-communist and anti-soviet psychosis". They also claimed that the West is preparing a contrarevolution. As a precaution USSR decided to intervene and send in troops to "normalize" the situation. Leaders of Czechoslovak government were that same night taken hostage by russian paratroopers, who immediately flown them to Moscow for "consultation". It took approx. a week, till governmental leaders were forced to "approve" the presence of soviet troops in Czechoslovakia.
After few years of hope that the regime in Czechoslovakia will get better, people having genuine hopes in better future, all was crushed by massive force. Occupation caused a mass immigration from Czechoslovakia, official numbers estimate that approx. 70 000 people left the country as a result. Soviets appointed new government, more loyal to the "soviet way of communism".
As you can see, totalitarian regimes never change. From Hi**er to Stalin or Brezhnev, they all always use the same excuse. "Helping oppressed minorities" or "military trainings nearby borders" - people of Czechoslovakia have been there. That's why we feel so strongly about current situation in Ukraine. Please, pray for Ukraine and, if your situation allows, support it.

History tends to repeat itself and humans have hard time learning from its mistakes...let me present you two history lessons from Czechoslovakia in 20th century...in year 1933 was in Czechoslovakia founded the Sudetenland political party (SdP). Czechoslovak Germans (members of SdP), out of which many lived in border areas of Czechoslovakia (called Sudetenland), started complaining how they are oppressed by the Czechoslovak regime, that they have a right for self-determination and that they want to be a part of "New Germany". It was no secret that their leader, Konrad Henlein, loved Hi**er and worked closely with German secret inteligence. Throughout years 1937-38 Hi**er was putting more and more pressure on Czechoslovak allies (France and UK) claiming, that Germans are being oppressed in Czechoslovakia and that he needs to intervene.
Crisis intensified in 1938 when members of SdP actively started seeking conflicts with Czechoslovak police and military. England sent to Czechoslovakia lord Runciman, who was supposed to make a report about conditions of Czechoslovak Germans and trying to mediate a discussion between Czechoslovak government and SdP. The only problem was that most of his mission he was only accompanied by members or supporters of SdP without much chance to get opposite perspective. As a result, his final report was closer to German propaganda rather than non-biased report of real conditions. As a result, on famous conference in Munich, Chamberlain (for UK) and Daladier (for France) agreed with Hi**er that Czechoslovakia must pass Sudetenland to Hi**er with his promise that that's all he's going to take. Remaining part of Czechoslovakia was guaranteed its sovereignty. That was on 30th of September 1938.
Czechoslovakia, abandoned in the middle of Europe without support, passed Sudetenland to Hi**er...
On 15th of March 1939 Hi**er invades into remaining part of Czechoslovakia, breaking Munich agreement. They started calling it "Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia" - as they claimed they are here to protect us - and right of all Germans. They said they that they brought us peace and that we can be glad to be a part of New Germany, Hi**er's Reich. In next five years, their "protection" costs lives of approx. 350 000 Czechoslovaks.
