The Charles Bridge

Prague
March 6, 2006

< < previous | next > >

On one of the statues on the bridge, there is a bas relief of a crowd throwing a saint over a bridge into a river. It's good luck to rub the saint, so that image is bright and shiny. Somewhere along the way, people started rubbing the image of a dog on the other bas relief on the pedastal. There's no meaning behind it, but the dog is now just as shiny as the saint.
