There we were, my wife Christa and I, and about 25-30 more people in this, one of the Lutheran churches that #Denmark is rich. Good to see the congregation of Jesus coming together in a village. Singing together, confess the faith, pray and hear God's Word. It was about facing the future fearlessly and without worry, for God our Heavenly Father cares. Beautiful! Then it was the celebration of the Lord's Supper; kneeling as a congregation, receiving bread and wine. Precious in vacation time! Afterwards we talked with the pastor about being church in Denmark and the Netherlands. What a gentle and kind man... We wish this congregation the nearness of our God! And all those who are interested, feel free to enter this House of God to experience His peace, to pray or to experience a church service like us.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
