Churches across Czechia open for Night of Churches

Hundreds of churches, chapels and prayer halls across Czechia will open their doors on Friday evening as part of the annual Night of Churches event. This year’s edition carries the theme “Courage”, highlighting inner strength, overcoming fear and openness to new encounters. Visitors will be able to explore normally inaccessible areas, attend concerts, guided tours and spiritual programmes. Participating sites include Zdík Palace in Olomouc, the crypt in Teplice and the Basilica of St. Wenceslas in Stará Boleslav. According to organisers, last year’s event attracted more than 460,000 visits. Churches and religious communities across the country are taking part.
