It was indeed celestial
The painted ceiling in this church was lovely beyond words.

Rhythm
I expect you were starting to think I was never going to get around to showing you what the inside of one of the famous painted churches looks like…
It is a lovely space, calm and quiet, and encouraging of reflection.

Sacred Ground
I wasn’t aware of the sad history of this town when I visited, but my history-buff friend told me later that during World War II, Praha had the distinction of being the U.S. town with the largest ratio of war deaths to residents. The largest number of these deaths occurred in 1944.
This piece says it best – In the space of 12 months and nine days, Praha gave up most of its youth — and nearly all of its future — to confront unimaginable forms of evil on faraway continents.
