Vaclav Cesak, statuette of St John of Nepomuk

An one of three statuettes of St John of Nepomuk by Czech sculptor Vaclav Cesak is seen on February 8, 2020, in Novy Smolivec, Czech Republic. Unusual contemporary reliquaries shaped as statuettes of St John of Nepomuk will be taken to several churches in the USA by representatives of his native town of Nepomuk in the spring. The delegation will take the reliquaries to the churches dedicated to the Saint in New York, Chicago and St. Louis. The statuettes will contain soil from Nepomuk and also from Prague, where the Catholic Church martyr and one of the saint patrons of Bohemia lived and died in the 14th century. In 2021, 300 years will elapse since the beatification of John of Nepomuk by Pope Innocent XIII. (CTK Photo/Miroslav Chaloupka)
