An allegoric narrative about Polishness, and the romance of martyrdom often attached to it. The sacred space of a church is established, full of symbols of Polishness and spirituality. The corruption of this sacred space is depicted through the autonomous motion of objects: a purse full of coins suggests that Poland has been sold to foreign countries; struggle is symbolized by swords, helmets, shields, and flaming torches; and a more general decline is conveyed through the symbolism of food and alcohol.
