RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Friday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
St Barbara, patron saint of miners and by extension explosive engineers. As a good catholic I should have known that but I am a modern catholic and Googled it. This town is a centre of the silver mining and coin minting industry. Consequently there were a lot of rich parishioners who were grateful to god for their good fortune who gave generously to their parish church. What a church. Words fail me.
