\"\"<\/a>In 2018, we will commemorate the 100th anniversary<\/strong> of the foundation of our independent republic.<\/p>\n

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) proposes launching a revival programme<\/strong> with the motto \u201cRestoration of the family = Restoration of the nation\u201d<\/em>. Let nationwide demonstrations<\/u> be held in all the regional capitals on six memorable days<\/u> in the jubilee year:<\/p>\n

2 April<\/strong> \u2013 National holiday \u2013 Easter Monday<\/p>\n

5 July<\/strong> \u2013 National holiday \u2013 St Cyril and Methodius Day<\/p>\n

6 July<\/strong> \u2013 National holiday \u2013 Jan Hus Day (demonstration only in Prague)<\/p>\n

28 September<\/strong> \u2013 National holiday \u2013 St Wenceslas Day<\/p>\n

28 October<\/strong> \u2013 100th anniversary of the Republic<\/p>\n

26 December<\/strong> \u2013 Second Christmas Day<\/p>\n

Speeches should be delivered by regional representatives as well as by the leaders of patriotic and Christian movements. Demonstrations should enjoy the support from and participation of schools, local companies, organizations, political parties, folklore dance and song ensembles in traditional costumes e.g. from Vala\u0161sko (Wallachia), Slov\u00e1cko (Moravian Slovakia), Chodsko, South Bohemia, Vyso\u010dina (Highlands Region)… Demonstrations should also be supported by church choirs and religious processions with banners according to the tradition of our ancestors who participated in pilgrimages and penitential processions through the fields (e.g. on the feast of St Mark, on Corpus Christi\u2026). The demonstration procession would then pass through the city with the aim of national and moral revival of the Czech nation.<\/p>\n

It is embarrassing that there are parades and demonstrations held in Prague every year only by gays or non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

Patriots and Christians must not remain passive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BCP hereby appeals to Czech bishops to fulfil their task, to engage the priests and believers, and to support the moral and national revival process in the jubilee year. In addition, call on the faithful to renew prayer in the family, preferably between 8 and 9 p.m.<\/u> You will thus also encourage those who have prayed the Rosary for the nation since St Wenceslas Feast Initiative.<\/p>\n

In the Czech anthem we sing, \u201cWhere is my home?\u201d<\/em> May our nation and our family become our home!<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS: The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) is a spiritual and moral authority in the contemporary Christian world. It takes the position of \u201cSede Vacante\u201d by reason of defending the truths of the Catholic faith.<\/p>\n
