Charles Bridge. Prague
The Bronze Crucifix
It was produced in Dresden, Germany, and was bought by the Prague magistrate and placed on Charles Bridge in 1657. The statue’s gilded Hebrew inscription, which translates as “holy, holy, holy God,” is believed to have been paid for with money extorted from an unknown Jew who had mocked a wooden crucifix that formerly stood on this site.
