Situated in the southeast garden of the Roofless Church, this sculpture of the Holy Trinity, by Ewa Żygulska, is an interpretation of a 15th-century wood carving in the National Museum of Kraków. In the Middle Ages, when few could read, artists used a scale to represent importance. For example, in this sculpture, the figure of the elaborately crowned Holy Father dwarfs the size of his son, Jesus Christ. This provided a visual reassurance that no one suffered alone and that each of us are bearers of our own individual crosses. The sculpture was dedicated by the Robert Lee Blaffer Trust in 1968 to honor the invincible spirit of the Polish people and human fortitude.
