Statues of Saints John of Matha, Felix of Valois, and Ivan on the Charles Bridge in Prague. Designed in 1714, the sculpture honors the two founders of the Trinitarians, the order that supervised buying back and redeeming of Christians in captivity under Turks. The base depicts a cave with three chained Christians praying to the Lord for salvation. St. Ivan, the saint patron of Slavs was added to the group for unknown reasons.
