The St. Nicolas Church in Prague has some interesting statues, such as one that seems to be holding handcuffs up in the air. But this one, located at the front of the church, on the left side, is especially striking.


Here we see a bishop who seems to be having a good day.


And a heretic who is having a bad day.


This statue, situated at the front of the church, on the left side, was surely intended as a lesson and a warning to the faithful, reminding them that they should adhere to the truth, as defined by the bishop. If the bishop says that the sun revolves around the earth, that is the way it is.
