The Czech Technical University (CVUT) in Prague, Czech Republic, newly provides a device developed in Israel using artificial intelligence to aid visually impaired students, with Israeli ambassador Daniel Meron officially gifting one of the devices to musician Rachel Sklenickova, on February 4, 2020. The finger-sized OrCam MyEye 2 device converts visual information into voice output. It does not need any external processing capacity and is wireless, capable of reading text from any surface as well as recognising faces, colours, bank notes and products. On the photo is seen CVUT's Rector Vojtech Petracek with the device. (CTK Photo/Michal Krumphanzl)

Mass commemorates Cihost event followed by crackdown on church

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 is seen priest Tomas Petracek, left.
