Legacy of Jan Hus commemorated in Prague and Husinec

The legacy of Jan Hus was commemorated on Saturday with church services in Prague's Bethlehem Chapel and the South Bohemian town of Husinec. Roughly 100 people attended the ecumenical service in Husinec, where the priest and church reformer was born around 1370. The town's mayor said that more people are expected to attend next year when it will be 610 years since Hus was burned at the stake. July 6 has been a public holiday in the Czech calendar since 1990.
