The Interest of the Orthodox Church in the Prague St. Cross Church in Příkopy
The presented study provides a detailed probe into efforts of the Czechoslovak Orthodox Community to rent the St. Church in Prague in Příkopy in the 1920s which seemed to be little used. Although there were more opportunities to obtain their own place of worship, the Orthodox did not have enough money to reconstruct these buildings, often in a bad or even state of disrepair. In this sense, the St. Church in Příkopy, which was in good technical condition, however, required an interior modification for the needs of services in the Byzantine ceremony. The study represents the original work which is based on the study of sources, especially the Archive of the Office of the President of the Republic, the National Archive and the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.
