In the Castle Quarter of Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral
is a testimony to perseverance. Begun in 1344, the church
was finished in 1929. It houses the relics and tombs of
saints and kings and features an astounding, and
astonishing, Art Nouveau window by Czech artist
Alfons Mucha.
A side door at St. Vitus's features Saints Peter and Paul.
This is the Church of St. Salvator where we attended an
evening concert. The weather was below 32-degrees F so
"heated seats" were part of the advertisement. Midway through
the concert Roger commented, "This is the first concert I've
attended where I could see my breath." Appropriately
the chamber ensemble played Vivaldi's "Winter."
According to the informal guidebook we had, titled
Prague, My Love, this spire at St. Katherine's is considered one of the most
beautiful Gothic spires in the Czech Republic.
