One of the world’s largest medieval manuscripts, the Codex Gigas, also known as the “Devil’s Bible”, was created in what is now the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿📖

Written in the early 13th century at the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice, the manuscript contains the complete Latin Bible, as well as texts on history, medicine, and exorcism. After the Thirty Years’ War in 1648, it was taken to Sweden as war b***y, where it remains today in the National Library of Sweden.

A remarkable piece of shared Czech and Swedish history.

On July 11, we remember the passing of Milan Kundera, one of the most influential writers of the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿📚

Known for blending philosophy, dark humor, and reflections on freedom under totalitarian regimes, Kundera became one of the most distinctive literary voices of the late 20th century. His works found a particularly strong readership in Sweden, where they were translated and widely read long before he regained prominence in his homeland after 1989.

Today, his literary legacy continues to connect readers across the Czech Republic, Sweden, and beyond.

Czech physician Jan Janský changed modern medicine with a discovery that still saves millions of lives today. In 1907, he classified the four main human blood groups, laying the foundation for safe blood transfusions around the world.

On Blood Donor Day, celebrated on June 14th, we remember not only his scientific contribution, but also the importance of every person who chooses to donate blood.

Thank you to all blood donors. ❤️
