As per Photos

On March 20, 1393, the religious priest was thrown from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River below. It was said that when John hit the water, five stars appeared in the sky over the river. As a result, Saint John is often depicted with a halo of five stars encircling his head. Due to the nature of his martyrdom, John of Nepomuk is considered to be the patron saint of protection from drowning and floods.
