The pioneering study specifically analyzes the fragments of the medieval omural paintings of the church of St Anna in Pribyslavice discovered at the early 70s of the 20th century. In particular, it focuses on the scene situated above the sanctuary and construes it as the depiction of the miraculous mass of St Martin which is quite rare in the context of Czech and European production respectively. Its attractivity is advanced by the eucharist tone of the scene given by the setting as well as the presence of the subtle figure of the crucified Christ. In the connection with the Legend of St Martin it represents an entirely unique motive, however, it may be considered that in this context it represents a substitution of the absent motive of the revelation of the golden sphere which is mentioned by Sulpicius Severus, the first biographer of St Martin.

Among the eschatological subjects in the Middle Ages were The Weighing of Souls, which represents belief in a fair judgment, immortality of soul, eternal life, and the possibility to influence the life after death with good deeds. In medieval pictures, this idea is represented by a figure of St. Michael Archangel, who evaluates the deeds of the deceased using a steelyard balance. The paper brings the identification of the specific iconographic type. The authors put the surprising weigh in the form of a loaf of bread, which outweighs the stones, millstones as well as demons´ efforts to turn the results of weight to their advantage, in connection with the story about a rich tax-collector Peter, who angrily threw a loaf of bread at the beggar asking for alms.
