Calvari / Calvary
La esplendida creu que es troba al mig del Pont de Carles, a Praga. Ja hi havia una creu aquí des del s. XIV, i la actual data del 1861 en pedra. Però el text en hebreu que l'envolta és més antic i és una mostra del antisemitisme del s. XVIII. Les autoritats acusaren un jueu local de blasfemia, i el forçaren a pagar un text en or glorificant Crist a la creu. Ara una placa explica aquesta historia.

=========================================
The Calvary cross in Charles Bridge, prague has an anti-semitism air in it. The hebrew text was added by force by a local jew accused by the christian authorities of blasphemy. His punishement was paying for a golden text in hebrew glorifying Christ. This is usually found offensive by Jewish tourists, so an explanation plaque was put under the statue.
