Who is this man (on right)? His home country's most famous holiday is named after him and still celebrated. I'm quite positive I missed the day we studied Jon Hus in Western Civ. at Ole Miss. Strange though, Hus died because the powers of the day - the church leadership - couldn't stand what we now know as orthodox christian thought. He followed in Wycliffe's footsteps and Luther and Calvin followed in his. May we be so wise as to learn from their thoughts and journey.
His great prophetic quote:
“In 100 years, God will raise up a man whose calls for reform cannot be suppressed.” Jan Hus 1411
