Samson Fountain

Samson is a hero in the Bible to defeat the lion, but he also has shortcomings, and he has confessions. He likes to watch and enjoy various sculptures here and understand the stories behind them.

A sculpture fountain on the main street has always felt that one of the great things about Bern is to find fountains of different shapes, which represent a local culture, and there is often a story or legend behind it. It is a good choice to hear about it.

Samson is a religious hero. The fountain is carved with the biblical image of him fighting a lion, but the finished carving is really hard to say. It feels ugly.

The story of this fountain comes from the Bible, written about the hero fighting the lion, but the lion carving like a dog, not so grand, feels general, I just pass this place.

The fountain is shaped by a man who uses two hands to open the mouth of a beast on the main road of the old Bern town. It was later learned that the fountain was the story of Samson's victory over the lion. It needed to understand the myths of the West and the Bible to understand the theme of the fountains.
