General Description:

This beautiful wall relief of St. Florian is hand-crafted in Slovakia.

It is made of a dark and heavy resin which is hand-painted when it cures. Colors are gold, bronze and silver with an antiqued finish. A durable fabric cord loop is built into the back of the relief for ease of hanging.

As this is a hand-painted item, color patterns will vary from one wall relief to another.

This wall relief would make a wonderful gift paired with our Antiqued Slovak holy water font (sold separately).

Profile
Third century officer in Roman army stationed in modern Austria. Military administrator of the town of Noricum, and a closet Christian. Said to have stopped a town from burning by throwing a single bucket of water on the blaze, and thus his association with firefighters and those who protect us from fire, including chimney sweeps. When ordered to execute a group of Christians during the persecutions of Diocletian, he refused, and professed his own faith. Martyr.

Died
c.304; scourged, flayed alive, a stone tied to his neck, and dumped into a river; body later retrieved by Christians and buried at an Augustinian monastery near Lorch; relics translated to Rome in 1138; part of the relics given to King Casimir of Poland and the bishop of Cracow by Pope Lucius III, which led to Florian's patronage of Poland and Upper Austria
