Church paraments from the parish of St. Martin in Oporów on the basis of liturgical inventories from the years 1717–1819

Summary/Abstract: The pauline monastery of St. Martin in Oporów is located in the middle of Poland, in Kutno County. It’s one of the oldest polish pauline residences which was erected in 1453 by two brothers from Oporowski family: Wladislaus — archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland and his brother Peter — province governor of Łęczyca. Founders and benefactors took care of the church, monastery and economic condition of the Order of St. Paul the Hermit.They also offered liturgical paraments that were very important in parish services and celebrations. The biggest influence on holy foundation had Sołłohub family in 18th century. The richest members of this family took care of renovation of the church and unique climate in the holy place. The range of the study embraces 12 inventories, presently deposited in the Archives of Jasna Góra. The books have been written by pauline fathers in the years 1717–1810. The register prepared in 1819 was written by secular authorities that made suppression of the monastery. All inventories contain important information about liturgical equipment (altars,images of the saints, vestments, chalices, crucifixes, missals, candles, reliquaries etc.) and what did paraments look like in the past. The author would like to recognize and analyze the paraments, which were situated on the altar and in the sacristy.
