After the Second World War, Larysa Hienijuš with her husband and son lived in Vimperk near Prague.
The forests in the west and south from the Boubín Mountains were owned from 10th century by the Saint Vitus Church canonry of Prague (Note: This was the ancient canonry of Prague. St. Vitus Cathedral did not yet exist at this time.) Territorial disputes between the Duchy of Bohemia and the Duchy of Bavaria in the 11th century resulted in the loss of much of the local population.
Its prototype was a stone statue of the Madonna from Vimperk.
