The Best Laid Plans

St. John Nepomucene’s name is actually John of Nepomuk. “Nepomucene” is a Latinization of his name.

A more accurate painting by Szymon Czechowicz showing St. John Nepomucene being tossed in the Vltava (Moldau) River

Another image of the saint’s martyrdom from a bridge in Prague. The figure of St. John Nepomucene is likely worn down here from the faithful touching the image.

St. John Nepomucene on the left with his finger over his mouth. This image is apparently in Santa Maria Anima in Rome, but we were not able to identify the saint next to him.

Another image of St. John Nepomucene with his finger over his lips, this time in Ścinawka Średnia. He will also be depicted with an angel where the angel is the one with the finger to his own lips.
