Summary/Abstract: The article presents liturgical topics in the magazine Vyšehrad (1945–1948). After the Second World War, a new Catholic periodical (weekly, afterwards fortnightly) was founded with the subtitle The Paper for Christian Culture. The magazine included a wide range of topics: reports and comments aimed at the contemporary situation, reflections of cultural events and topics associated with the Church in Czechoslovakia and in the world. Liturgics was a natural – not compulsory, additional or artificial – constituent of almost unvarying sections, since liturgy and closely connected topics (e.g. sacral art) comprised a natural part of the life of contemporary society. The article divides the theme of liturgics in Vyšehrad into four areas: (1) liturgical articles, (2) reviews and reports, (3) information and questions concerning liturgy, (4) art, architecture, liturgical music. The development and intensification of the topics, some of which were tied to pre-war Catholic journalism, was not possible due to the short existence of the magazine.
