Abstract

A painting depicting St. Lawrence was created in the 17th century. Originally, it was placed in the altar of the former hospital chapel. After its liquidation, the painting was moved to a wooden church in Jordanów, later a brick one. St. Lawrence was one of the deacons of Pope Sixtus II. During his persecution he died a martyr's death by burning on an iron grate, which remains his attribute.
