It has been painted by the apostle St. Luke on the tabletop carved by Jesus. 

Tomasz is fantastic!

He picked us up from the airport, giving us a great history of Poland as he dropped us off even though it was 2am! He is so knowledgable about the local area of Krakow, giving us some good recommendations. Highly recommend using Armatys Travel when coming to Poland!
