'Day of Czech Statehood' celebrated

Tuesday is St Wenceslas Day, an official state holiday in the Czech Republic, marking the death of the nation's patron saint. As is the tradition on this "Day of Czech Statehood," Prague Castle, as well as town halls and churches throughout the country, are holding celebrations to commemorate the martyrdom of Prince Wenceslas, who was killed on this day in the year 935 by his brother Boleslav. For the holiday, Radio Prague is broadcasting the English-language world premiere of former president Vaclav Havel's 1968 radio play "Guardian Angel".
