The Painting of Saint Mary
Before the large dams were built on Vltava river in the 20th century, Prague had to endure flooding almost every year. Some were smaller, some bigger, but they always brought some destruction with them. Legend says the painting of Saint Mary was washed to Prague by a large flood. The owner of a house at Kampa Island saved the painting from the wild water and the water stopped raising. He hung the painting on the house for everyone to see. Not surprisingly this painting become quite popular, and it is said that if you will pray to it, your wish will come true.
