The article describes the work of the Committee for the study of the life, personality and work of Jan Hus established at the Czech Bishop Conference in the years 1993–2000. The article puts the activity of the Committee into a historical context commencing with Cardinal Beran’s participation in the discussion of religious freedom at the 2nd Vatican council (20 September 1965). The final parts of the article summarise the impact which the Committee has had so far and provide ground for contemplation and inspiration. The author’s sources are, apart from literature, his personal participation in the work of the Committee, records of the meetings, personal interviews with the Committee members and news and commentaries from the media. In this respect, the article adds author’s personal perspective.

Contemporary social discourse utilizes scientific criteria to analyze events, texts and people’s behaviour from the point of view of their power and impact on historical transformations. Printed and audio-visual materialregarding John Paul II’s pilgrimage to the Middle East in the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000 were published and made public during his visit and shortly afterwards. In retrospect, this event allows for a well-balanced semiotic analysis focusing on the intentional selection of places visited by the Holy Father, his rhetoric used both in official and private speeches, the symbolism of his gestures and overall behaviour, especially in their religious and cultural context, as well as on the presence of signs and symbols in the whole conception of the pilgrimage project. This paper attempts to synthesize these elements which result from an earlier interdisciplinary analysis, taking into consideration the different perspectives be it historical, socio-religious (referring to three monotheist religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam), rhetorical and aesthetic. In this case, semiotics provides a framework to analyze and justify the contribution of the mentioned pilgrimage in a broad context of a redeeming Church in the early 21st century.
