For children
Like a game of time! Less than sixty-six years ago, when a man stood by and looked around, he saw in the Ceiling a sculpture of St. John Nepomuk. It originated almost 266 years ago when people were dressed in long clothes and wearing long - striped boots. That was the time when horses and cities were full of life.
Stropkov in those years was a small town, where the residents met in markets to sell their fruits or buy newspapers from other countries. The church stood on its main square and every weekend prayed to the church, which Saint Jan Nepomuk was a protector.
