Saint Babara for the Tramway Tunnel in Brno

According to tradition, the statue of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of underground workers, was ceremonially placed, on Thursday June 10th, to the construction site of the Žabovřeská tramway tunnel in Brno, excavated by division 1 since the beginning of May. The cast-iron statue of the saint was blessed by the bishop Vojtěch Cikrle in the Brno cathedral and afterwards it was placed by workers of division 1 into a box at the northern portal.
