"I think Father Toufar was tortured to death within a month, and it freed Jenda from all investigations. Because of that, they stopped investigating Jenda, no longer paid attention to him and transferred him to another prison, then to another prison again at night. We were looking for him around Prague. I had already been there with my brother once, the second time Míla with her mother went there, and Jenda was simply nowhere to be found. We didn't even know if he was alive or not."

"We went to church every Sunday. The pastor was preaching, and he just moved with his hand towards the sanctuary and said a sentence, I don't know exactly how it went now: 'There is one among us whom we do not see now, but the Lord God is with us.' He always preached such beautiful sermons. I looked there, but probably later, because someone said they had seen it more times. I only saw it twice and thought I was just seeing only things, so I didn't say anything about it, not even at home, because when I tried to take a good look, the cross would already stand still. I didn't pay attention to it. Then, during the week, word began to spread around the village: 'The cross was moving in Číhošť, and so-and-so saw it.' I said I saw it too but thought it was just a daydream. I remember it very well. I saw the flash two or three times, certainly not more, and when I wanted to take a better look, the cross stood still. That it remained a little tilted, I wasn't looking anymore, and it remained like this, that I didn't confess until a week later, only at home did I say that the cross was moving. Some people came, and when they saw it four times, they reported it at home, and some peoples’ mothers scared them, 'Don't even say it anywhere, who knows what you dreamed.' But I only admitted it during the next week."
