Žižka's Aunt on Her Knees

When in 1420 the Taborites meant to lay waste this convent as well, Žižka's aunt, who was a nun here, is said to have come out to them and begged on her knees for mercy for the place. And Žižka comforted her: 'For your sake, aunt, I pardon you and this convent too.' That, however, is only a legend — the nuns here were spared because they at once consented to receive communion in both kinds, as the sisters of Saint George afterwards did, who were moved here to Saint Anne's.
