RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Sunday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
A detail of the one of the sculptures of Charles Bridge. I do not know the story that represents.

This story is about St. John Of Nepomuk. Legend has it that he refused to divulge the queen's confessions to King Wenceslas IV. That is why you see a woman at confession in the background. On the panel to the right of this one on the statue you will see a depiction of a man being thrown from the Charles Bridge. That man is St. John Of Nepomuk. That is how he was killed. If you touch the panels, I think both but I'm not sure so best to touch both and be safe, it will bring you good luck and ensure that you will return to Prague one day -- kind of like the Trevy Fountain in Rome.
Thank you for some great info! Highly appreciated. Have a great night! Tomas
