Abstract
Unfortunately, research on furnishings of the St. Martin's church carried out so far, due to lack of archival records on the constructors, does not even try to determine a circle of potential authors of the reredoses and its sculptural decor. The sculpture was created in the second half of the 18th century and shows St. Matthew, the author of the first Gospel. The saint was a tax collector from Capernaum chosen by Christ. After Sending Out of the Holy Apostles he was to preach the gospel in Ethiopia and to suffer a martyr's death there.
