The Golden Cross by the Church

St Wenceslas’s Church stands on a gentle rise, where little blue flames appear on dark nights. A cauldron full of gold coins is said to be hidden here, a golden cross resting on its lid. No one guards it, but only a just person can recover it, once every hundred years. See Holice.
