26 June 2020
According to Vatican News, in the town of Oldrish in the Czech Republic, belonging to the diocese of Hradec Kralove, a copy of Porciuncula appeared - the chapel in which St.Francis of Assisi lived in poverty, prayed, where he heard the voice of God and from where he sent brothers to all parts of Europe as messengers of peace. В часовне Порциункула According to the plan of the builders, the Czech Porciuncula should fulfill the main role - to awaken in those who visit her a sense of humility. And of course, the chapel should be as similar as possible to the original in Assisi. Therefore, during the construction of the chapel, marble and stone brought from Italy were used, similar to those that can be seen in the great Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, erected over one of the most significant shrines of Catholicism. The altar and chapel building in the Czech Republic was consecrated by the bishop of Hradec-Karlove Jan Vokal. In addition to its main destination, Porziuncula in Aldrish will also host cultural meetings, conferences and concerts. Finally, as specified in the message of the Czech Episcopal Conference, the new house of prayer is located on the main street of the village - so everyone passing by 'will be able to feel the invitation to stop at this place and take a break.'
