The statues of the Martna retable

Christ the Invincible stands between the statues of two angels symbolising the divine sphere. The idea of the composition is to declare – God has sent his only begotten son into the world to redeem mankind and to give Christians the gift of everlasting life. Moses and John the Baptist, symbolising the unity of the Old and New Testaments, and the importance of the Ten Commandments and the sacrament of baptism, stand on either side of the paintings together with the Christian virtues, Faith with a cross and Hope with an anchor.
