        Mass commemorates Cihost event followed by crackdown on church

        A mass in the Cihost village church, Czech Republic, on December 15, 2019, marked 70 years since the Cihost miracle, the altar cross's alleged movement on its own, which triggered a the Communist regime's crackdown on the Catholic Church in former Czechoslovakia. During priest Josef Toufar's sermon in the Cihost Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the third Advent Sunday in 1949, the believers noticed that the iron cross on the altar repeatedly moved on its own. The Communists used the case to start a wave of repressions against the Church. Toufar died of the consequences of torture on February 25, 1950. On the photo are seen L-R theologian, educator and writer Marek Vacha, parson Pavel Jager and priest Tomas Petracek. (CTK Photo/Lubos Pavlicek)
