Saint Jude, Baroque statue on Charles Bridge, Czech Republic.
Standing on the north side of Charles Bridge, the statue depicts Saint Jude Thaddeus wearing a long robe while holding a book and club with knots.
Created in 1708 by sculptor Jan Oldřich Mayer, the statue was funded by knight František Sezima Mitrovský of Nemyšl during the rise of Baroque art in Prague.
The statue represents Saint Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of desperate situations, who stands among thirty religious figures displayed across Charles Bridge.
The statue remains accessible throughout the year as part of the Charles Bridge walking route, with ramps providing access for wheelchair users.
The statue features distinct characteristics including a club with knots, symbolizing the instrument of Saint Jude's martyrdom in the first century.
