PARA KANDELABRÓW OŚMIOŚWIECOWYCH

A pair of candelabras is located in the chapel of the Holy Mother of Kębło. The candelabras are eight-candles and they are placed on both sides of the main altar in the Chapel. Kandelabry są ośmio-świecowe i są umieszczone po obu stronach ołtarza głównego w Kaplicy.

The candelabra is a large, standing, several-armed candlestick. Candelabras or candlesticks were made mainly of metal and were known in ancient times. At the end of the 17th century, two-armed candelabras were popular, three-armed in the 18th century, and in the 19th century, several-armed candelabras were also made. The candlestick was built of a base, a shaft and, most often, a removable retable with arms.

The style of the candelabra is neo-Baroque. Material and technique - bronze. Candelabras were painted in gold. The base has 4 legs, passing into the shaft, decorated with numerous ornaments and a retable with 8 arms on which there are candles.

MIECZ

A sword from late Middle Ages from Wąwolnica City Museum.

In Wąwolnica City Museum there is a sword from late Middle Ages that has never been seen publicly. The museum that holds this exhibit has quite unusual location as it is located in the thumb of the church’s chapel. The museum was founded by a priest named father Jan Pędziora — then pastor at the St. Adalbert Church in Wąwolnica and by the Society of Friends of Wąwolnica in 1995. Among its exhibits there are interesting artifacts connected to the history of the region from the Paleolithic era to modern times.

The sword from the exhibition was available to us thanks to mrs Wiesława Dybała, the curator of the museum and also father Jerzy Ważny. According to mrs Jadwiga Teodorowicz-Czerpińska, the person who gifted the sword to the museum, it was found during field work in and undisclosed location near Nałęczów.
