80th Anniversary of the Hus' Congregation 3rd and 4th October 2009

Between the 27th and 29th September 1929 the Hus' Congregation in Botanická street was inaugurated – only 2 years after the foundation stone of the first Czech sacral functionalist building had been laid. We remember the 80th anniversary with an exhibition in the Congregation premises, a ceremonial service on Saturday at 5 p.m. and a concert on Sunday at 6 p.m. There is also a special programme prepared in Avia. A 1930's style evening with music and projections will materialize the atmosphere in which the Hus' Congregation was built as a sign of eternity descending into our times. Enjoy the unique period photographs from the Baumeister magazine, published in March 1930 in Munich.

Night of Churches

The first Night of Churches took place in Brno and other South-Moravian towns on Friday 29th May 2009 since 4 p.m. till the small hours. It followed the idea of the „Lange Nacht der Kirchen“ – the long night of churches, a tradition born in Vienna in 2004 that continually spread to all larger Austrian towns. After five years, it crossed the border with the Czech Republic for the first time, and it took place in many German towns as well. The programme in the Hus' Congregation started at 5 p.m and lasted till 1 a.m. During that time the Cafe restaurant Avia hosted sixty „pilgrims“, the Night's visitors, who had here a free drink of their choice.
