Good King Wenceslas' real name was Wenceslaus I of Bohemia. He was a historical figure who became the Duke of Bohemia in the early 10th century and is celebrated for his generosity and piety. His feast day is observed on September 28, and he is often regarded as a symbol of good governance and Christian virtue. The popular Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas" is based on his legacy.

He was a Bohemian Czech, venerated as Saint Wenceslaus in the Czech Republic to this day.

What is the name of the famous church in Prague?

There are many famous churches in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. However, probably the most famous is St Vitus' Cathedral which is found within Prague Castle on a hill overlooking the city. Apart from being a stunningly beautiful building and architecturally wonderful, its real claim to fame is that it is the last resting place of St Wenceslas, a Godly man who became king of that area. Wenceslas may be familiar to you as 'Good King Wenceslas' of the Christmas carol, but far from being just a story (as many believe) Wenceslas was a real king who brought Christianity to those parts and was made a saint as a result. His tomb is a small, humble affair with a roofed plinth housed in a small chapel on the south-east end of the cathedral.
