Saint Catherine Church
2
This landmark dominating Hora sv. Kateřiny is in Baroque style. It was first mentioned in 1450, when only wooden church was standing in that place. Between 1611 and 1612, a new brick church was built on the place of its wooden ancestor.
3
Next to the church, there is a sand-stone statue of Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms. The statue was made in 1729.
4
While visiting the church we saw the old organ, the bell, the altar and 13 pictures portraying torment of Jesus Chirst.
5
Theory of devil‘s portraits When we were looking round the church, Mr. Pakosta, the deputy mayor, told us an interesting story.
6
One evening, a group of people were sitting and chatting by the fire. When the fire was fading, there was a lot of smoke. After only smoking ash had been left a Billy goat, which was white, came to the people. Sniffing the smoke the goat suddenly put its nose into the ash.
7
Nobody knew what the billy goad was doing but when it looked at them with its nose and face black, he looked like a devil. Black nose, black face and horns Maybe that´s how pictures of devil appeared.
