Exiles
As in many other villages (Dolní Podůlší, etc.), non-Catholics from Zelenecká Lhota went into exile during the counter-reformation. Subjects lived in fear that if they left the faith of their ancestors, they would not be saved, but if they adhered to it, they would lose children, freedom, or their lives.[2] The descendants of these exiles live in Germany, the USA, Canada, Australia, and other countries.
