The Wagon That Crossed the Rokytka by Itself

Libeň

Historically
potok Rokytka u Libně
Period
929

When Boleslav ordered the body of Saint Wenceslas carried from Boleslav to Prague in a single night and threatened the loss of their heads if it were not done before the dawn, the servants naturally made haste. Coming to the Rokytka, they found it so swollen that they could not ford it with the wagon. But no sooner had they said a prayer than the wagon with the body of Saint Wenceslas passed over to the other bank of itself.
