Three-Handed St Casimir
In the earliest (16th century) image of the patron saint of Lithuania, St Casimir is depicted with three hands. Legend has it that the artist decided to change the position of the right hand, and painted another one on top, directed towards the chest, but the over-painted hand shone through the new layer of paint. In fact, the three hands symbolise the generosity of the Holy Prince, and the abundance of grace experienced here. The painting is decorated with a silver frame made in the early 18th century.
