The evening prayer

Every 16th day of a month during the whole year people come to the Green Hill to the Church of St.
John Nepomuk to pray for the town, country, their lives and other important needs .
These thoughts and wishes are similar to the thoughts and wishes of the medieval ancestors.
The church is a prayer room .
Everywhere you can hear a silent prayer, silent concentration, fasten hands together, kind faces
full of tenderness and belief of better days. Many people go to honour the memory of the dead
and remember their relatives or friends themselves. We can feel peace and quiet. The church is a
dignified place for such a meditation.
The priest is prepared to hand his open mind and help people who need it. The old or the young, it
does not matter how old you are. You are here to help yourself , to help the others or just to stop and
breathe deeply without the rush of everyday worries.
