Po pravdě jsem nadšený, že vám mohu představit jedno z nejvýznamnějších míst české historie - Betlémskou kapli. Tato nenápadná, ale historicky nesmírně důležitá stavba v srdci Prahy mě nepřestává fascinovat ani po desítkách let, co ji navštěvuji.

Když jsem poprvé vstoupil do kaple, dýchla na mě atmosféra 15. století. Představte si, že stojíte na místě, kde kdysi kázal samotný Jan Hus! Kaple byla postavena v roce 1391 a brzy se stala centrem reformního hnutí. Hus zde kázal v letech 1402-1413 a jeho slova rezonovala nejen kaplí, ale celou tehdejší českou (pražskou) společností.

Co mě na Betlémské kapli nejvíce uchvacuje, je její architektonická jednoduchost, která kontrastuje s její historickou významností. Říká se, že v jednoduchosti je síla a tady to platí dvojnásobně. Původní gotická stavba bohužel nepřežila do dnešních dnů - byla zbourána v 18. století. Ale nenechte se zmást! To, co vidíte dnes, je precizní rekonstrukce z 50. let 20. století, která věrně napodobuje původní podobu kaple.

Při každé návštěvě si rád všímám detailů - prostých kamenných zdí, vysokých oken, která propouštějí světlo do interiéru, a zejména repliky kazatelny, ze které Hus promlouval k davům. Vždy si představuji, jak musela kaple vypadat, když byla plná lidí dychtivých slyšet Husova reformní kázání.

Faktem, který se tolik nezmiňuje bylo to, že Betlémská kaple byla jak místem náboženskými, tak i vzdělávacím. Byla úzce spojena s Karlovou univerzitou a stala se ve dle ní důležitým centrem českého jazyka a kultury.

Když procházím kaplí, nemohu si nevšimnout nástěnných maleb a nápisů, které jsou replikami těch původních. Tyto malby nejsou jen dekorací - jsou učebnicí dějin, teologie a morálky té doby. Je pro mě opravdu fascinující, jak i v 15. století uměli využít vizuální prostředky k šíření myšlenek.

Pro mě osobně je Betlémská kaple symbolem síly působení myšlenek a slov. Dnes bychom řekli kongruence neboli souladnosti = sladěnosti sdělení, harmonického vyvážení obsahu i formy. Když zde stojím, cítím, jak zde historie doslova ožívá. Je to místo, kde se zrodila česká reformace, která ovlivnila nejen naše dějiny, ale i evropskou historii. Bylo to jedno z prvních míst, kde v Evropě vzniklo liberální myšlení, jak bychom dnes nazvali to, co vyšlo z kazatele Jana Husa a jeho žáků do světa.

Návštěva Betlémské kaple je podle mě povinností pro každého, kdo chce pochopit českou historii a kulturu. Ať už jste místní nebo turista, toto místo vám nabídne jedinečný vhled do klíčového období našich dějin. A kdo ví? Možná i vás inspiruje k revolučním myšlenkám, stejně jako inspirovala naše předky...

An important historical landmark in Prague Old Town This was the site of a large chapel from the High Middle Ages were the gospel was to be preached in Czech. Jan Hus preached from here and it was here that the burgeoning Hussite movement began to take root in the Czech lands. After the burning of Hus by the emperor and the Hussite Wars, the chapel continued to be used by the Hussites, until the Thirty Years War, when it was taken over by the Jesuits. It subsequently fell into disrepair and was allowed to be demolished, but it was reconstructed under the Communists, who saw Hus as an early champion of the proletariat. The hall has been well reconstructed and there are guides and interpretative materials to allow one to see the importance of this hall in the history of Prague and the...

Unless you are fan of the czeck history this place is not a great attraction. Basically you will need to pay money for them to allow you to get inside the chapel which is a huge square with tons of chairs. Nothing compared to a regular church or real chapel. They lend you a piece of paper that describes each one of the four walls of the chapel. The texts you will read are something like ‘the North side wall has 1 big window and 2 small windows and a drawing’ which to us was not very interesting. We were in and out in few minutes with a few czk less... now, if you are familiar with czeck history then you may be able to appreciate the place a...

Visiting Bethlehem Chapel and learning more about the life of John Hus was a really rewarding experience and memorable piece of my trip to the Czech Republic. In addition to viewing the sanctuary area, you can also go upstairs to see his old office/living quarters, and learn more about the church's history and his impact on modern-day Christianity. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area!

During our visit to Prague, my wife and I also visited the very interesting Bethlehem Chapel, which is interesting from the time of the Reformation and is associated with the reformer and great mind Jan Hus. Photos of the interior say a lot. But it is interesting that you can read about the history of the chapel in your own language.
