caption: SAN GIOVANNI NEPOMUCENO (about 1349-1393), or Jan of Nepomuk, Czech priest, canon of the cathedral in Prague and preacher at the court of King Wenceslas, who had him killed by drowning. There are two reasons why the king would have meant the death, by some considered to be contributing factors, for others it separate incidents occurred at two homonymous characters: the first, as a confessor of Queen Joanna of Bavaria, is a categorical refusal to transgress all 'requirement of the confessional by revealing the jealous king the secret confidences of his wife; the second reason, political affiliations, consists in having vigorously opposed, as vicar general of the archbishop, to a king's order regarding the fate of an abbey, which violated canon law. Doubt that the two events that have led to torture and death may not have occurred to the same person comes from a discrepancy in the dates, but might be due to a mere annotation error. Proclaimed a saint by Pope Benedict XIII in 1729, is the patron of Bohemia, confessors and all the people in danger of drowning. Recurrence May 16. Picture devotional chromolithographic, XIX century
