Statue of St. Nicholas of Tolentino (Prague)

Czech Republic / Stredocesky / Hradcany / Prague / Charles Bridge
The saint is shown as handing out bread to the poor. Behind him is a house with a Madonna, a mangle, and a lantern on its top-floor balcony. Walk quickly. Legend holds that if the lantern goes out while you’re passing by the statue, you’ll die within the year.
