Master John Huss Day (Czech Republic)

I don't have time to write a full post, but I just noticed that today is Master John Huss Day in the Czech Republic.

John Huss (Jan Hus) was born in southern Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) in about 1371 and died 592 years ago today. His followers were called Hussites. He was condemned at the Council of Constance in 1414 and was burned at the stake, a martyr for Christ, on July 6, 1415.
