A readable guide to our most famous pilgrimage site.
The author tells in a fresh way about the roots of our faith and culture connected with St. Cyril and Methodius, about the courage of the Cistercians and Jesuits to plant roots in the spiritual heart of Moravia, about the transformations of the pilgrimage site under Emperor Joseph II. and Archbishop Stojan, but also about key events and personalities of the turbulent 20th century. Velehrad is not just history, it is a hot present: the visit of the Pope in 1990, the modern Days of Good Will, the restoration of the pilgrimage area, quality art and education and countless spiritual stimuli. In the book we will find a number of other points of interest as well as practical tips for trips around the area.
The informative book will serve as a preparation for your first visit to Velehrad, a guide to the pilgrimage site and a literary souvenir after returning home. Whether you're coming here for a pilgrimage, for sightseeing, for spiritual practice, for study reasons or simply because you've fallen in love here, you're welcome.
