Here's a stained-glass image of St. Stanislav, the patron saint of Poland; what a fine figure of a man.
Bishop Stanislav was put to death by King Boleslav 'the bold' in 1079. He was canonised in 1253. His shrine is at Skalka, Krakow's oldest shrine. His blood stains are still visible on the wall.
No mention of light bulbs, but note the following:
"Since the 1880s some Polish most illustrious luminaries were posthumously awarded with ceremonial burial in its crypt that is open to the public." [sic] http://www.krakow-info.com/skalka.htm
What more justification do I need for my earlier fiction?
