The statues of saints: Jan, Ivan and Felix

This sculpture also looks quite interesting. The Turk is standing on the side, inside behind bars some people are sitting and praying... What does all this mean?

At the top of the sculpture you see three saints: Jan Ivan and Felix. From Turkish captivity they bought Christian slaves with their own money. In total, 400 people bought out. Because of their good actions, they were recognized as saints. You see the Turk statue on the left. And inside the cave, behind lattice, you can see Christian slaves praying and asking for help.
