Želivsky preached at Church of Our Lady of the Snows (Panny Marie Sněžné). He was one of a few Utraquist priests in Prague at the time and he was strongly influential, owing to his sermons which were noted both for their eloquence and their apocalyptic descriptions. "The priest and his followers were, however, received with derision by the town-councillors, who appears at the windows, and stones were thrown at the procession.
One of the stones struck Priest John.. and the infuriated people immediately attempted to storm the town hall.".
