The Church of Loreto is a distinctive sight in Prague and withholds many treasuries and chapels in its folds. However, one peculiar and fascinating chapel has a very interesting and weird tale behind it. This is the chapel of 'Our lady of sorrows' in Loreto. It houses the statue of St Wilgefortis, a bearded and crucified female saint.
