This is all goes deep into history. This is not from recent times when the statue was torn down. I’ve heard a tiny bit of this history before.

A controversial statue of the Virgin Mary has been returned to Prague’s Old Town Square, over a century after the original was torn down by an angry mob.

The 17th Century column was toppled in 1918, days after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the birth of an independent Czechoslovak state.

The statue is a perfect replica of the original Baroque Marian column.
