The “Midnight Mass” and the “Ryba Mass”: Where to go in Prague to experience an unforgettable atmosphere
The Czech Christmas Mass is an integral part of the atmosphere of Christmas, also known as the Midnight Mass. Make this Christmas truly luxuriously magical and allow yourself to be carried away by the festive mood with incredible concerts and much more.
Popularly known as the “Ryba”. Where did it come from?
This is not a luxury Christmas soup, but a church composition written in Czech by the wonderful virtuoso Jakub Jan Ryba who is the author of its text. The story tells of the announcement of the birth of Christ and the arrival of the shepherds at the manger. This composition has become a symbol of Czech Christmas for many a generation in our country.
