Fodor's Expert Review Kostel sv. Martina ve zdi
It was here, in this humble-looking corner church, that Holy Communion was first given to the Bohemian laity in the form of both bread and wine, way back in 1414. (The Catholic custom of the time dictated only bread would be offered to the masses, with wine reserved for priests and clergy.) From then on, the chalice came to symbolize the Hussite movement. The church's interior doesn't rival other grander religious buildings in Staré Mĕsto, but neverthless it is open to the public for a quick peek every afternoon. German- and Czech-language services are held, too, and evening concerts.
