| Description | The book May the soul raise from the dust. The story of the Bludov parish of St. George has an ambition to tell the story of the Bludov parish, the story of its religious buildings, priests and laymen. Therefore, it is structured into six chapters: 1) the political and social history of the parish, 2) the history of church buildings, 3) the history of the little church of Corpus Christi in the woods above Bludov, 4) the history of chapels, saint statues, crosses and saint pictures standing in the village or in the surrounding areas, 5) 91 priests who worked in the village since the 16th century, with a detailed biographical profiles of 16 of them from the beginning of the 19th century and 6) biographical profiles of 13 priests and 4 religious-sisters, who were born in the parish or were grown up in it. Based on the study of a vast number of sources and literature the story of the parish is introduced, the story which is not a simple list of data, events or names, but which is trying to interpret the events, their reasons and contexts. The book brings the corrections of some of the old mistakes and offers a new explanation of both old and new events associated with the Bludov parish: when it was established; why it was not attached to the diocese of Litomyšl in 1350; what villages and in what periods belonged to Bludov parish; how many illegitimate children were born in the 19th century in the parish; how the parish was limited during the Communist regime; how the religious composition of the population in the 20 century was changed; why the last reconstruction of the church was realized; in what way the cemeteries and the tombs have changed in Bludov and much more. |
