Gothic baptismal basin from the parish church in Strachocina.
Undoubtedly it originates from the first church in Strachocina built in XIV c.
Almost for sure it was used during baptizing little Andrew Bobola.
For years (it seems that since 1900 when in the place of the old
wooden church the new one was build)
it laid aside outdoors. Since II W.W. at a little cemetery of Soviet soldiers
killed during it. Almost entirely buried in soil it was used
as a kind of a big flower-pot..
It was discovered only at the beginning of 1990s and introduced to the
church again, to the St. Andreas altar.
This brings to mind biblical: A stone rejected by builders set to be the cornerstone.
