During an overseas trip to the wonderful city of Prague I literally stumbled on the “Marian Column” in the center of “old town.”
At the time it did not appear in any tour guides, nor promotional materials.
Intrigued, I researched the story of the Marian Column of Prague.
Its history, long hidden behind the Iron Curtain, in a country that had been considered one of the least religious in the world, is a wonderful example of peoples love for the Virgin Mary.
This new column had been brought back to the Czech Republic in 2020 in order to thank the Virgin Mary for her loving support of the Czech people.
The original Marian Column erected in 1650 was destroyed by radicals following WW I. The main instigator of that act expressed regret on his deathbed.
Also in this podcast is a reading from my book,
The Very Fine Light.
