The practical part focuses on the analysis of chosen texts - Three legends of The Crucifix, The Garden of Mary and Christine The Miraculous. Apart from their brief summation in the third chapter the thesis outlines three bigger thematic parts of the texts in the fourth chapter, which consists the core of the work. Every theme is matched with one of the texts - love together with Three legends of The Crucifix, beauty with The Garden of Mary, pain and suffering with Christine The Miraculous. The fifth chapter delves into the motif of prayer in all of Zeyer's texts. Prayer here is divided into three types - loving, beautiful and painful.
