The House Called at the Picture of the Virgin Mary Glass

It’s probably the most famous house in Prague – everyone knows its balcony with eternal light and a picture of the Virgin Mary. But not everyone knows its secret.
The first mention of the sale of the house is from 1657 – but how old it is, it`s not known exactly. It has been called a house of the Virgin Mary since 1784. At that time, there was a great flood in Prague and the Virgin Mary picture was brought by a river. Since then, the picture is on the balcony of the house.
Next to the picture are hung two wooden rollers. There was a laundry room with a mangle in the house. One of the housemaids, Mary, was inattentive, and her hands got between the mangle rollers. She quickly prayed to the Virgin Mary, and the mangle rollers miraculously moved back, and nothing happened to Mary. Another version of this legend says that the statues from Charles Bridge helped Mary because she took care of them. When they heard her call, the statues came to life and the rollers moved back.
