Stock Photo - Hradec Kralove Bishop Jan Vokal, center, celebrates a mass in memory of the victims of the Communist tyranny in the monastery in Zeliv, Czech Republic, February 22, 2020, within a two-day conference on Czech Catholic priest Josef Toufar (1902-1950), who was killed by the communist secret police (StB). Toufar, who served in Cihost, was investigated by the StB in connection with the ""Cihost miracle"" in December 1949 when a cross standing on the main altar of the local church moved several times during his sermon. The Communist regime used the event as a pretext to persecute the Catholic Church. In April 2013, the Czech Bishops' Conference gave consent to Toufar's beatification. However, the process is at the beginning and may last decades. (CTK Photo/Lubos Pavlicek)
