Jan Hus primarily preached at the Bethlehem Chapel in Prague.12

Beginning in 1402, Hus took charge of the chapel, which served as the center of the national reform movement in Bohemia. At this location, he delivered public sermons in the Czech language rather than Latin, a practice that helped him gain popularity among the common people. Despite facing ecclesiastical pressure and formal prohibitions against preaching in private chapels, Hus continued his ministry at the Bethlehem Chapel for several years.123
