Abstract
The statue of the Risen Christ was created in the 16th century and originates from a previous wooden church in Biskupice. The sculpture has characteristics of late Gothic. It is similar in form and composition to other 16th-century statues of the Risen Christ in Lesser Poland (in the churches in Raciechowice, Poręba Wielka, Trzemeśnia and Modlnica). The statue of the Risen Christ shows the Triumphant Saviour who rose from the grave. The red robe indicates his martyrdom and the flag is a symbol of victory over death.
