Summary/Abstract: Eduard Krajňák (1848 – 1924) was a teacher of classical languages at the Catholic grammar school in Bratislava. In addition to his pedagogical activities, he actively spoke in favor of the Catholic Church, whether in the journalistic, enlightenment, but also in the political sphere. He compiled a prayer book for soldiers, Boh moja nádej (God My Hope), and for 10 years led the administration of the popular religious magazines St. Adalbert (Vojtech) and Buditeľ katolíckeho ľudu (The Supporter of the Catholic People). We know from his correspondence that thanks to his contacts with important people, he supported and helped many Catholic priests. As a Christian socialist, he also became involved in setting up Christian unions in Slovakia after the coup in 1918.
