Editing Prague astronomical clock (section)

== Description ==
The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of [[Old Town Hall (Prague)|Old Town Hall]] in the [[Old Town Square]]. The clock mechanism has three main components&nbsp;– the astronomical dial, representing the position of the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various [[Saint#Catholic Church|Catholic saints]] stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the [[Apostles in the New Testament|Apostles]]", an [[hour]]ly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents [[Personifications of death|Death]], striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.<ref name="PCL-Legends of clock">{{Cite web |title=Legends Of The Old Town Astronomical Clock |url=http://www.praguecityline.com/prague-monuments/legends-of-the-old-town-astronomical-clock |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006082818/http://www.praguecityline.com/prague-monuments/legends-of-the-old-town-astronomical-clock |url-status=usurped |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |website=Prague City Line |access-date=18 June 2014}}</ref>
