I took a little trip this morning too. It was cold (around zero), but that didn't deter me. I was hoping to get another photo for my municipal emblem collection.
I visited the village of Svatý Jan nad Malší. For Czech users, it will certainly not be a problem to decipher who the village is named after.
Yes. It is according to the Czech saint Jan Nepomuck. The face of this saint is also on the local emblem. The stars around the face are tied to the story of the village's origin.
Navštívil jsem vesnici Svatý Jan nad Malší. Pro české uživatele nebude jistě problém rozluštit, po kom má vesnice jméno.
Ano. Je to po českém světci Janu Nepomuckém. Tvář tohoto světce je i na místním znaku. Hvězdy kolem tváře se váží k příběhu vzniku vesnice.
The chapel soon became a place of pilgrimage, so it was only a matter of time before it grew into a church and when the first residents settled here.
So much for the story of the origin of the village, as I read it on the local information board.
Kaple se brzy stala poutním místem a tak byla jen otázka času, kdy se rozroste na kostel a kdy se zde usadí první obyvatelé.
Tolik příběh o vzniku vesnice, jak jsem si jej přečetl na místní informační tabuli.
And I also took a picture of the local weather station.
A také jsem si vyfotil místní meteorologickou stanici.
Does it seem strange to you? Czech speakers will read the description of the station's function from the photo. For foreign language users, here is the translation:
the stone is wet .... rain
the stone is white ... snow
the stone swings ... the wind
the stone swings violently ... a gale
the stone is not visible ... the fog
the stone is gone ... theft
the stone lies on the ground ... vandalism
stone you see double ... alcohol!! (you are not standing upright)
Zdá se vám zvláštní? Češtináři si laskavě přečtou popis funkce stanice z fotografie.
