Mass at Ludmila’s
After the funeral service in the theater, the Mass will begin at 1 p.m. in the nearby Basilica of St. Ludmila. A strongly religious actress used to go here almost every day and read the word of God. She also tearfully said goodbye to her late husband, musician Zdenek Hrášek (†62), here in 2016. For the last six months, she alternated between these and also went to the Church of the Sacred Heart of the Lord on Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrady. “The main celebrant will be Simona’s close friend, Olomouc canon Stanislav Surma, who will come from Moravia,” he told the daily Aha! priest Jakub Berka, who will say goodbye to Postlerová for the parish.
