Stock Photo - A crowd of several hundred people watched the transport of a new bell, called Vaclav, commemorating the legacy of former president Vaclav Havel (on the photo Havel's widow Dagmar Havlova), across much of Prague to the Saint Gall (Havel) Church today, on Sunday, March 5, 2017. The bell was blessed in an ecumenical mass served for the victims of totalitarian regimes by Prague Archbishop, Cardinal Dominik Duka. The money to cast and install the bell was gained within a public collection organised by the Charter 77 Foundation. The bell will be ringing for the first time in the Saint Gall Church on the occasion of the end of the anti-totalitarian festival Mene Tekel. This will be followed by other Prague bells that will greet the Vaclav Bell. Havel, a leading dissident and playwright, became the first Czechoslovak president after the fall of the communist regime, and he was the first president of the independent Czech Republic in 1993-2003. He died in his favourite country house in Hradecek, east Bohemia, on December 18, 2011. (CTK Photo/Magdalena Strakova)
