John Huss (Jan Hus), Bohemian Reformer, was born on July 6, 1369 and died on July 6, 1415. July 6 is celebrated as Jan Hus Day in the Czech Republic.

His last words as he was tied to the martyr's stake:

"You are now going to burn a goose, (Huss signifying goose in the Bohemian language) but in a century you will have a swan which you can neither roast nor boil." If he were prophetic, he must have meant Martin Luther, who shone about a hundred years after, and who had a swan for his arms.

i am teaching a class at fellowship memphis in two weeks on the arminian vs. calvinism debate so i've gone back and reread my reformation history....it was a blessing to be reminded of this man of God twice in one week!!! i don't want to consider the woe that the inquisitors (among others) that killed him had to face upon their death....:tombstone:
