Good King Wenceslas

Dominating St Wenceslas Square is the equestrian statue of
St Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. Wenceslas, also
known as good King Wenceslas, was named King after his
death in 935 AD. During his lifetime he was Duke of Bohemia.
He was sainted for his contribution to bringing Christianity to
the Czech lands. King Wenceslas is surrounded in the statue
by contemplative priests representing the four Czech patron
saints. This statue was erected in 1912 and the translation from
it's Czech inscription reads " St Wenceslas , duke of the Czech
land, prince of ours, do not let us perish nor our descendants"
