The sad story of St. John Nepomuk  

Posted in


The Bohemian King got really angry this time.  The bishop of Prague once again refused to tell, what he had heard during the Queen's confession.
He expected to hear the words proving his suspicion about the queen's strange behaviour.

But Nepomuk did not wanted to share any single detail, smartly escaping the direct questions.
That was enough. The poor bishop has been thrown into the river Vltava from the Charles Bridge, near the place, where today the tourist can see his sculpture. Touching the figure of the saint on the bass- relief brings luck.
This story of St.John Nepomuk and other you can find on Travel Prague.
