	PraguePostcard » St. Vitus Cathedral
		This patron saint was chosen because Wenceslaus had acquired a holy relic — the arm of St. Vitus — from Emperor Henry I. It is also possible that Wenceslaus, wanting to convert his subjects to Christianity more easily, chose a saint whose name sounds very much like the name of Slavic solar deity Svantevit.
		The design of the cathedral nods to Romanesque architecture of the Holy Roman Empire (of which Prague was the capital), most notably to the abbey church in Hildesheim and the Speyer Cathedral.
		The southern apse of the rotunda was incorporated into the eastern transept of the new church because it housed the tomb of St. Wenceslaus, who had by now become the patron saint of the Czech princes.
