St. Wenceslas was actually a loved Czech King propagating Christianity. He ruled over Prague in the 10th century. Legend says that he was murdered when he was going to the morning religious service, by the mercenaries sent by his brother Boleslav. He represents national Czech continuity and nationhood and he is celebrated every year on the 27th September. The legendary royal brothers Wnceslas (Václav) and Boleslav are the Czech correspondents of Cain and Abel from the Holy Bible or, in other words, of Good and Evil.
