San Juan Nepomuceno (Saint John Nepomuk)

San Juan Nepomuceno was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia. He was pushed off a bridge into a river where he drowned by her husband, the king, because he would not inform the king of the queen's confession. He is the protector of bridges and is invoked for making a good confession.
