Blood libel paintings

This cathedral contains a series of paintings built into the church's wooden panelling depicting the Martyrologium Romanum. The third painting shows the scene of a supposed blood libel which is claimed "...depicts ritual murders committed in Sandomierz by Tatarians on Christian children". ^[1] The inscription next to the painting reads filius apothecarii ab infidelibus judeis sandomiriensibus occisus (English: son of an apothecary, killed by infidel Sandomierz Jews). ^[2]
