According to the legend from Krakow’s Kazimierz, once a Jewish wedding took place on Friday. Dancing and rejoicing, the guests forgot about the Sabbath and because they desecrated the Holy Sabbath – suddenly the whole wedding collapsed under the earth. This place became afterward a Jewish graveyard and today it is a small, fenced, empty area in the middle of Szeroka street.
