The Legend About the Green Hill
Once upon a time there were really bad times for people in Bohemia because the weather was really dry and it had not rained for a long time. The reason of this situation was that the bad genus Cheaters had an argument with good and kind genus Lords of Žďár.
Vojtech, from the genus Slavníkovci, was the bishop of Prague bishopric and he was very popular among ordinary people from the Highlands because of his willingness and reliability. This was the reason, why Lords of Žďár asked him to visit their manor. He immediately accepted their invitation and arrived in Žďár. He became very popular and the residents of Žďár persuaded him to stay with them.
Cheaters were so envious so finally Vojtech decided to leave. People blamed Cheaters of his leaving and many farmers decided to go to Lords of Žďár. That was the reason, why one of the Cheaters said horrible curse.
People were really frightened and they hoped that Vojtech will come back and save them.
On the green hill the old hermit Brimota was living in that time. One day he was visited by Vojtech, who went to Bohemia to save people from the curse. When people learned about his arrival, they all came and asked him for help.
Vojtech agreed and he stood on a stone. He started to pray and all people joined him
In that time it started to rain and the grass turned green and streams filled with water. Lords of Žďár thanked to Vojtěch and the decided to expel Cheaters from the Highlands. To remember this unusual day, Lords of Žďár decided to build there a church, and they started to call it the Green Hill.
