Abstract
A painting of St. Andrew was probably made in 1760 and it was dedicated to the altar which was built under this invocation. Most likely, it was painted by Piotr Kornecki. Saint Peter was the brother of St. Andrew and a fisherman. Initially he was a disciple of John the Baptist, and then he became one of the first disciples of Christ. The saint can be identified by his attribute – a cross in the shape of the letter "X" (the so-called cross of Saint Andrew), on which he suffered a martyr's death.
