Prague - Nearly three thousand bells across the Czech Republic will announce this evening that another Night of Churches is taking place. 1372 churches and chapels will open their doors and reveal their mysterious corners. Eleven churches invite adults and children at unusual times to cultural programs, contemplation, or discussions in sacred spaces. It will be possible to see places that are usually inaccessible, such as organ lofts, bell towers, sacristies, towers, crypts, or monastery gardens.
    This year, the organizers of the Night of Churches place greater emphasis on Christianity itself and the spiritual level. According to the Prague Archbishopric, the Night of Churches is an invitation for everyone to enter Christian temples without embarrassment and barriers, to admire their spiritual and artistic wealth.
    It will be a meeting not only with the beauty of architecture or visual art and music, but also with what has inspired the builders of Christian temples and what has brought believers to churches for two thousand years.
    More information about the open churches or recommended routes can be found at www.nockostelu.cz. For example, in Prague and the Central Bohemia region, at least 233 sanctuaries will be open, while 170 churches will open in the Brno diocese.
