Why Are Czechs Not Religious?

The Czech Republic is recognized as one of the least religious countries in Europe and potentially the world. The reason for this is commonly explained as the result of Communism. Suppressing religion is a tactic for the Communist regime, which was intended to fight against any organized power that could challenge them, such as the Catholic Church. However, the Czech Republic is a leader in secularism and non-religion among its neighboring countries, many of whom were also under Communist rule. Take, for example, our next-door neighbor Poland, which remains largely Catholic beyond the fall of Soviet influence. The only nearby country that comes close to the Czech indifference to religion is Estonia. While Estonia did fall under the Communist regime like Czechoslovakia, it is a sizeable distance away and has a vastly different history. Consequently, it is logical to conclude that you cannot merely point to Communism as the answer to why Czechs are not religious. So, what is the answer? As might be expected, there is not simply one event that changed the country’s religious views. Rather, many historians believe that a long history of anti-Catholic sentiments and rejection of organized religion led to the prominent atheism seen in...

Invalidovna: Independent Town of War Veterans

This independent town of war veterans turned into a popular film location and cultural center in Karlin district. It is slightly getting alive, and you might be a witness to its rebirth. What You Can Explore in Invalidovna Invalidovna is one of the largest complexes in Prague, where you can still experience an authentic urbex exploration feeling. In the upcoming years, the Invalidovna will be reconstructed for the first time during its existence. Therefore, you have a unique opportunity to visit and explore the complex with its original atmosphere. Invalidovna was designed as a kind of a small town for war-veterans from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and later from Czechoslovakia. Initially, the whole complex was supposed to be nine times bigger. The veterans had their church, cemetery, slaughterhouse, bakery, fields, and orchards for agriculture, pub, and of course, accommodation rooms for their disposal. It was like a small world in the suburb of Prague. During a peak period, about 1.500 people lived there. Today, the whole complex is empty. Only some fragments remained such a prayer room and some sculptures. The Story of Invalidovna This extensive Baroque complex (constructed between 1731-1737) has its example in Paris Hotel Les Invalides. For the...

Charles IV, Emperor and Esoterist

When it comes to Prague and its relations with esoteric culture, our mind immediately goes to the figure of Rudolf II Emperor of Hapsburg, the king who gave the Bohemian capital its fame as a “magic city” par excellence. If it’s true that Rudolf II actually contributed enormously to the creation of the myth of an esoteric Prague, it is equally true that before him, another great ruler had already – through his figure – linked Prague inextricably to the history of Western esotericism: Emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg. Charles was an enlightened ruler, who surrounded himself with learned artists and scholars and who chose Prague as his residence, thus making it the most important centre of the kingdom. Under the Emperor, the city experienced a period of strong growth, both from an artistic and architectural point of view and a social and cultural one. The emperor approached Esoteric culture during his formative years in France, and from there brought it to Bohemia. It was in France, however, when he was still only thirteen years old, that he experienced a state of religious ecstasy while listening to a sermon of the scholar and monk Pierre Roger, the future Pope Clement...

Like a local. On April 30 Celebrate “Witch-Burning” in Karlín

April 30th is a special day in the Czech Republic as it is a celebration of pálení čarodějnic which means “witch-burning”. There are several interpretations regarding the roots and meaning of Čarodějnice. But experts most commonly believe that this ceremony is meant to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The night of April 30th is considered magical and was originally celebrated at midnight. People believed that on this night, witches gather together. So, families lit fires to protect themselves from evil. Today, pálení čarodějnic is a family holiday. Young and old gather around the fire. Girls dress as witches, families grill sausages, play music, dance, and sing. It’s also one of the most significant outdoor events of the year and is usually held in every Prague’s district. In Karlín you will find great food, drinks and fun for the whole family. Live music by DJ Hlava, and from 13:00 – 16:00 the Lovesong Orchestra. You can also look forward creative workshops, the popular face painting and gingerbread decorating workshop. Children will have lots of fun on the trampolines, carousel, train and bouncy castle.

Respect Festival 2023 — A Celebration of Humanity

The Respect Festival is an annual two-day and evening musical and multicultural event, and this year kicks off with a ceremonial and meditative tone. Rangamatir Baul, led by Rina Das, from West Bengal, India, begins the outdoor gathering on Saturday afternoon, June 17 th . Rina Das is considered the “Queen” of Baul music and Baul music is called the “soul of Bengal” meaning it is needed to have a good society – it is not a religious music, but a spiritual music taught to the musicians by their gurus, and at its heart, the music is a celebration of humanity; it is said to be about “self-discovery,” so knowing yourself is the essence of Baul music. With or without the yoga mats, this could become a transcendental meditation experience for all. Headlining Saturday is Adedeji, delivering a healthy dose of Afrobeat, the trademark sound of Nigeria, in the tradition of the late Fela Kuti, though “he” lives on via his sons Femi and Seun. Afrobeat is a get-up-and-dance music bringing together West African traditional music and its rhythms with influences of jazz and soul, especially James Brown, plus a strong political punch. Another notable group on Saturday is Al Bilali Soudan from Timbuktu, Mali. This is...
