• Baby Jesus/ Lennon Wall/Narrow Street

    August 28, 2024 in Czech Republic ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    There’s a 300 year old wooden carving of Jesus at the Church of our Lady Victorious. Over the years, people have created very elaborate robes to dress the doll for seasons, Church observations and other occasions. There are over 400 robes in storage and rotated through the museum.
    The John Lennon wall started about 1981 in the lesser Prague section of Kampa island. It started as a peaceful protest against the communists going street art and paintings over time. This tradition continues as local and not so local artists come by to add their portion some blending some contrasting. It’s an amazing site attracting many tourists.
